I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.

I really enjoyed Princeton as a graduate student.

I was a mathematics major and really into math.

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.

At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.

I went to Amherst because my brother had gone there before me, and he went there because his guidance counselor thought that we would do better there than at a large university like Harvard.

I left Princeton, but I graduated Harvard, in 1952.

I arrived from Harvard, where I had studied philosophy and the history of ideas, with a bias toward literature and formal thought.
