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

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

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

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

When I got to Princeton I made a point of attending the Philosophy Club and listening to the lectures, but I didn't get involved in any discussions in those clubs. I guess after the first year, I dropped that.

The job in Wisconsin was the first genuine offer of an academic job in a university which I received.

I don't think Post often came to Princeton during the '30s. I can't remember ever seeing him in Princeton.
