I read one or two other books which gave me a background in mathematics other than logic.

I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.

I think that after Church got his Ph.D. he studied in Europe, maybe in the Netherlands, for a year or two.

I'm sure Church got some of his ideas from this trip to Europe.

Here at Wisconsin we didn't get an undergraduate course in mathematical logic until the '60s.

It wasn't until my second year that I got to actually work with Church.

I went to Princeton in the fall of 1930 as a half-time instructor.
