Abstract
Recounts some anecdotes about Frederick Soddy (1877-1956), a professor of chemistry at Oxford University between 1919 and 1936, and Sir John Townsend (1868-1957), Wykeham Professor of Physics at Oxford between 1900 and 1941. The anecdotes flesh out the human portraits of the two scientists, indicating, among other things, Soddy's capacity for intellectual quarrels and Townsend's sometimes forgetful nature.
