Maybe I ought to say something about my years at university between 1906 and 1910, as there might not be any chance of doing so later on. I mentioned earlier that Hasenöhrl and his carefully conceived four-year course (five hours a week!) influenced me more than anything else. Unfortunately I missed the last year (1910/11), as I could no longer postpone my national service. As it turned out this was not quite as unpleasant as I had anticipated, for I was sent to the beautiful old town of Cracow and I also spent a memorable summer near the Carinthian border (near Malborghet).
