Stephen Cole Kleene

The job in Wisconsin was the first genuine offer of an academic job in a university which I received.

I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.

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

I came to a happy Jewish family in dark days in Europe.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.

You have the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Presbyterians, the Wesleyans, represented in each school, and they are each to take alternate days.
