Education in camp
But the real problem with school was [it was] so bad. At least from my standpoint, it was so bad—so poor. It really began to get very demoralizing, because you realize you weren’t getting an education. We said, gee, we ought to have a class in this. We ought to have a class in that, and so forth, and try to figure out how we could get this class. It was just a mess. And a lot of people suffered from that when they went to college, and stuff like that. But I was very fortunate to go to the University of Chicago because they had sort of remedial classes. If you didn’t know anything, they’d catch you up on it. So I was very lucky, I think. But, if they don’t have that kind of program in the college, it was pretty bad, because there [were] just a lot of gaps. I didn’t realize the gaps existed, until I went to college. And I said, geez, I don’t know anything about humanities. Haven’t read very much or seen any plays or anything—haven’t listened to any music. (laughs) So I just felt real ignorant.
