[updated October 15, 2009]
??? Why Gosset chose the pen-name "Student"
Front covers of 2 notebooks:
left: WS Gosset: 'Original small sample data and Notes'
SCIENCE LABORATORY NOTE BOOK; Browne & Nolan, Bookseller, Dublin
right: WS Gosset: 'Haemacytometer paper: yeast-cell counts'
The Student's SCIENCE NOTE BOOK; EASON & SON, LTD, Bookseller, DUBLIN & BELFAST
(Ziliac and McCloskey, 2007, speculate that he may have taken it from the cover of this Eason & Son
notebook.)
James Hanley is grateful to Stephen Ziliak ( http://faculty.roosevelt.edu/ziliak/ ) for
pointing him to the Gosset material in the Pearson Collection at UCL Special Collections, and to
the UCL Special Collections staff for providing access to the material.
