Broad on Wittgenstein, redux

From p.54 of of "The Local Historical Background of Contemporary Cambridge Philosophy", in C. A. Mace (ed.) (1957) British Philosophy in the Mid-Century (London: G. Allen and Unwin) pp. 13-61. (The editor notes that the lectures that the book collects "included one of the last public utterances of C.D. Broad as the Knightbridge Professor of Moral Philosophy.")
"I shall devote only a few lines to him, because several of my younger colleagues, who will be lecturing in this course, have attended his lectures and discussion-classes and have been profoundly influenced by him, whilst I have neither done the former nor suffered the latter."
