Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen with his parents (approx. 1860).

DIFFICULT TIME AT SCHOOL
Röntgen has attended the Technical School in Utrecht for a year when an incident occurs. He is caught by his teacher while admiring a caricature that a fellow classmate has produced of the strict educator. Röntgen refuses to give away the name of the culprit but his loyalty has consequences: He has to leave school without a final degree.
