I got what I needed out of Princeton in 1 year, and I didn't think it was useful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really enjoyed Princeton as a graduate student.
Princeton was really hard. I had learned how to write well at boarding school, and I knew if I majored in English and I just did the work, I could get B's.
I think the whole system of education would change if I were in charge and had the ability to make changes. I don't think I would keep Princeton exactly being Princeton.
I had an excellent Ivy League education, and it gave me a long view of things.
And then, when I left Princeton in the middle of my sophomore year, I went into the navy.
At Princeton I gained a great deal of pleasure from success in my classes. knowing that I could accomplish those things, and I realized that my success was directly proportionate to the work I put in.
I was an undergraduate at Princeton, and I was pressed by the math department to go on to graduate school. Actually they gave me fellowships that paid my way, otherwise I would not have been able to continue.
I went to Princeton in the fall of 1930 as a half-time instructor.
It was clear to me that if I could get through Princeton at the top of my class, I could do anything in the world.
If a student takes a Stanford computer class and a Princeton business class, it shows they are motivated and have skills. We know it has helped employees get better jobs.
