"I was born in South Africa, in Durban, in 1910. My mother is Scottish, father was a Colonial, he was born in South Africa, but his family came from Devon. He attended King's College, Cambridge, and during World War I he took his PhD at Columbia, and my sister and I went to the Horace Mann School, which was then one of the very new places. I don't remember very much about that except playing in the sandbox and making [clay puddings], which I didn't care for. Then my father, being a government servant in the education department, was moved from Durban to a much smaller town. Since the schools there were not very good, I was educated at home according to my father's plan, which leaned heavily on the humanities, art, music, and not very much on science or math, at which none of as were very good."
