Well, the war of course impoverished the teaching staff because they were… many of them were off to war. Margenau was not. Leigh Page was around – he wasn't off to the war, so I took his course, his graduate courses and so on. But the war ended rather soon. I mean the war ended only less than a year… just under a year after I arrived at Yale, and then people started drifting back from their wartime jobs. But still Yale was very weak in modern physics, modern theoretical physics, and relied on Gregory Breit to supply that, but Gregory Breit was so strange that it wasn't quite satisfactory.

[Q] And so you graduated in ’48?

Yes.

[Q] An…  and then you ultimately went to MIT.

I… I should have graduated in January ’48, and I discussed with people at the university whether to graduate in June ’47 or June ’48, because I didn't want to graduate in January, it didn't seem to me sensible. Because of the war system, I had finished my courses by January. They suggested that I graduate a term early and get a Henry Fellowship to Cambridge, but it was a day late for applying to the Henry Fellowship, and they wouldn't compromise. So then the scholarship office gave me a scholarship for the ninth… for the ninth term.
