Dalton was a quiet, unassuming man and a devout Quaker. When presented to King William IV of England, Dalton refused to wear the colorful court robes because of his religion. His friends persuaded him to wear the scarlet robes of Oxford University, from which he had a doctor s degree. Dalton was color-blind, so he saw himself clothed in gray. 

The stage was all set for the momentous event. Dalton approached King William IV and kissed his hands They stood chatting for a while.
