Very Good++ At the Royal Institution, Bernal began his career as a professional scientist. Within a very short time he was known to be, with the Braggs, the most profound crystallographer in England. In 1927, when he was twenty-six, Bernal was recalled to Cambridge. Arthur Hutchinson, the professor of mineralogy, had persuaded the university to establish a department of crystallography. Bernal applied. Hutchinson used to tell the story of the interview. During the formal questions Bernal either answered in monosyllables or sat mute, looking sullen (he could be curiously inept on such occasions). Then Hutchinson, as chairman, asked him what he would do if he was put in charge of the department. Bernal threw back his splendid head, the marvelous eyes sparkled, and he talked for half and hour - talked like the Pied piper of Hamelin, whom he sometimes reminded one of, bewitching a good many men, even more women, and this hardboiled academic interview board. After that, no more questions. Bernal was asked to withdraw, was called back in three minutes, and was given the job. Cambridge from 1927 to 1937 was the most creative period of Bernal's scientific life, in the specific sense of what he personally achieved. (DSB Vol. 15, p. 17).
