<p>Accompanying the bundle was an explanatory note written by E S Pearson in 1971: "ESP's early lectures on probability. Irwin continued to lecture on probability until 1927(?). He had to go to Switzerland for his health. I think ESP then took over the probability course in autumn of 1927, and may have carried on with this in a very elementary fashion for two years (as attached shows?). KP still gave 1st and 2nd year statistics courses except that, after his cataract operation in the summer of 1926, I think ESP took the statistics courses for a while."</p> |
