A study of the biographies of 280 great scientists and an
examination of the typical career profiles of criminals has found that
married scientists and criminals were much less successful than their
unmarried counterparts. The finding - for scientists at least - concurs
with the popular image of the anti-social but successful scientists
doggedly at work, lonely in their laboratory. It also backs up the brutal
observation by Albert Einstein, who wrote in 1942 that “a person who has
not made his great contribution to science before the age of 30 will never
do so”.
Marriage is not good for science and crime

Jesus (Frances Willmoth): Our admission books state which school each student attended, so it would be straightforward enough for you to check through and identify them. It's not something I can undertake, but you'd be welcome to call in here to have a look at the relevant volume. I am here every day, roughly from 10 to 1 and 2 to 6. You might also like to look at the College magazine of that period (Chanticlere), and other printed material.
