Huxley and GP Wells, and I never met, to my regret, HG Wells. But Julian Huxley was… he came to Princeton quite often and I had wonderful times with him. He was really, he could talk about anything and he was always very interesting and a lot of fun, and very supportive, too. We were interested in the same bits of embryology, but his interests were all much broader than that, not just that and I think maybe he influenced me to have my interested broader, too. And GP Wells, one summer I taught in a field station in Puget Sound, in America and Gip was one of the other teachers. And we got to know one another, splendid, splendid man.

Now, as far as Huxley goes, people would ask me, what is Huxley like? Well, he's a man of the old school and he considers himself very distinguished, and this story proves this. He was invited to Yale to give a seminar. And he was all dolled up with a fancy jacket on and so forth and necktie, and his nephew, who was a young anthropologist, met him at the railway station, and said, 'You look awfully distinguished, Uncle Julian'. And his reply was, 'I am awfully distinguished'.
