I met John Bardeen in the spring of 1950, when he was still at Bell Labs and I was a graduate student in physics at Princeton. That semester John came once a week to teach a seminar on the physics of semiconductors. Although I was in the midst of my thesis research, I regularly attended his lectures, which I remember as being clear, informative and low key. (The notes for this seminar formed the basis of EE‐PHYS 435, Bardeen's famous electrical engineering course at Illinois, described in the article by Nick Holonyak on page 36.)
