(1994) Reminiscences of the Vienna circle and the mathematical colloquium, Dordrecht, Springer.
The meeting place of the Schlick Kreis was a rather dingy room on the ground floor of the building in the Boltzmanngasse that housed the mathematical and physical institutes of the university. The room was filled with rows of chairs and long tables, facing a blackboard. When we were not in session it was a reading room, occasionally used for lectures. Next door, there was a small library and a tiny office for Schlick and his assistant. Those who arrived first at the meeting of the Circle would shove some tables and chairs away from the blackboard, which most speakers used. In the space thus gained, they arranged chairs informally in a semicircle in front of the blackboard, leaving one long table for those who brought books along or wished to smoke or take notes.
