It has been said that "few historians of science count themselves among George Sarton's students" because in his "concern to stablish the history of science as a respectable scholarly enterprise, Sarton made demands on students so severe as to be self-defeating." Aydin Sayili was the first of those rare student-species to receive a Ph.D. under Sarton at Harvard University. The date of his degree and the title of his dissertation were announced in 1942.
