Toledo and then transfer. It was pre-engineering courses that I took, and they were
all accepted at Ohio State. So the transition was perfectly normal. There was no
difficulty in transferring.
Q ..
So they mainly were the basic engineering courses, and you specialized only when
you went to Ohio State then?
A ..
Well, yes, but I took the pre-engineering at the University of Toledo, in other
words, the mathematics, and the physics, and that sort of courses that you needed.
Q.
You intended to study civil engineering from the very beginning?
l
A ..
Right.
Q ..
So when you went to Ohio State, you had done all of your prerequisites so you could
go directly into civil engineering courses?
Right.

Now, what was your field of concentration in civil engineering?
I specialized in structural engineering, but I never worked a day at it. We had a

Clyde T. Morris as the civil engineering professor in structures. At that time, he
was well-known. He was consultant on the--every once in a while he'd go to New
York. He was the consultant on what's the famous big building?
Q ..
The Empire State Building?
A ..
Yes, if it was being built at that time, that was the building. It was one of the well-
known buildings that he was the consultant on.
The civil engineering students took their hydraulics in the Mechanical Engineering
Department. So I had some hydraulics courses there. When it came time to pick
