text_original: These austere labours, this life of the labora  tory, which kept his mind constantly occupied and concentrated on problems difficult of solu  tion, nevertheless in no wise isolated him from the vital interests of the French nation. In common with all other young students, he had thrilled at the proclamation of the Republic in 1848, and it was with enthusiasm that he greeted the words, ''Liberty, Equality, Fra  ternity."
