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.

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

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

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

In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine.

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

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