In a condolence meeting organised by the students of Ashram on 25th Dec in Santiniketan, Rabindranath said;
" Today we want recollect specially the activities of our one of the best friend Pearson who died in an accident while going in a train. He was supposed to come over here and we were waiting for him but he could not. We can't forget the loss we incurred due to his death. But if we see him in the line of loss we have undergone, we shall undermine him. The loss of the wealth lying outside ownself , that is simply a loss.
