Abstract

I could go into great length about K. Kuhn's tribute (Nuremberg) to Johannes Stark, which appeared in this journal,*[¹] but would risk reawakening old disputes. Therefore I would just like to report a thing or two based on my own recollections, in order to prevent a myth from forming around the issue Kuhn has raised about whether Stark had ousted his predecessor F. Paschen. [²]
