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.
From Stephen Cole Kleene
Well, I think Barkley and I were the only two who were working with Church for a Ph.D.
Those three years ended with June 1933. At that time I left Princeton, having submitted my Ph.D. thesis.
The job in Wisconsin was the first genuine offer of an academic job in a university which I received.
It wasn't until my second year that I got to actually work with Church.
In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine.
I'm sure Church got some of his ideas from this trip to Europe.
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.
I think Veblen had an interest in logic.
