If I had to do it again, I would have considered studying abroad.

I was lucky. I got my EE degree at the University of Wisconsin - Madison in the late 60s…before the rioters graduated and took over.

I got a fine education, including three courses in a liberal art (History).

I also fought three riots as a National Guardsman. I was offered a scholarship by the Dean of Engineering for my effort as a airborne observer and searchlight operator the Spring of 1970. He said that my efforts saved the campus. But, I was so turned-off by the antics of the unwashed that I politely thanked him, graduated, and started adult life.

One year ahead of “new math” and barely ahead of the demise of higher education.
