During my early years at Minnesota I conducted an evening enzyme seminar.

During one of my early seminars, there were a bunch of seminar junkies there.

Mountain hikes instilled in me a life-long urge to get to the top of any inviting summit or peak.

The geographical isolation and lack of television made world happenings and problems seem remote.

In marked contrast to the University of Wisconsin, Biochemistry was hardly visible at Stanford in 1945, consisting of only two professors in the chemistry department.

Her death contributed to my later interest in studying biochemistry, an interest that has not been fulfilled in the sense that my accomplishments remain more at the basic than the applied level.
