I remember his lectures well and I bought the course book, "Mathematical Analysis - An Introduction" - which was by him. That was that.
Then just recently, over 50 years later, I learn that Scott was one of the codebreakers at Bletchley Park during WW2. He broke the Soviet Comintern code in late 1943.
I still have his book, the very copy I purchased from the university bookstore on Oct 10, 1967.
