Comstock was brimming with acclaims: "Karl Friedrich Gauss is the lone model ever, of all wonders, whom Sidis takes after. I anticipate that youthful Sidis will be an incredible galactic mathematician. He will advance new speculations and concoct better approaches for computing cosmic wonders. I accept he will be an incredible mathematician, the forerunner in that science in the future."[2] Sidis started taking a full-time course load in 1910 and procured his Four year certification in liberal arts degree, cum laude, on June 18, 1914, at age 16.[8]
