ABSTRACT

B y September 1933, Dorothy and I were back in the United States. My friends at Yale (probably E. J. Miles) providentially arranged for me to do postdoctoral work as a Sterling Fellow

for the year 1933-34. My stipend was $1,000 a year, and Dorothy soon found a job researching automobile traffic that paid $300; we lived on these combined earnings. We rented a one-room apartment with a rent of $35 a month, bought some necessary furniture, and settled down. We were greatly helped by the fact that I received free meals as a faculty fellow.
