Water Resources: Hydraulics and Hydrology
The professors Not very much. There were about 25 to 30 students in each class, and
they weren't all interested in the detailed design of projects. So his course was a little
general.
If he had a course with 10 or 12 students who were interested in projects in greater depth,
then he could have given lectures on Bonneville, Shasta Dam, and other
projects.
That would have been good for me.
How would you rate the texts you had for your various civil engineering courses? Were
they very good or not.
Yes, they were good.
You said Etchevary used his own book.
Etchevary used his own book. O'Brien used his own book. O'Brien and [George
wrote a book, just a few years before I took their courses. It was very theoretical,
fluid dynamics, mainly. In fact, I have most of those books here in my home office.
The last time we talked, we had gotten to your time at the University of California.
Yes.
We had talked about some of your professors--Dean Derleth, Etchevary, and Morrough
O'Brien
Yes.
I was wondering if, at your time there, you had met any of the Engineer officers who
were there for advanced study That was one of the universities to which they sent
Engineer officers.
Yes. I remember there were some, but I wasn't very close to them. They took different
courses, so I don't remember any of their names.
Okay. I just thought I'd ask.
