I was extremely fortunate to see this exhibit at Caltech just prior to the lockdown. The history of the great scientists and humanists who founded caltech is extraordinary and is featured in my successfully defended dissertation

As one of the first History major undergrads at Caltech (class of 1969), I wrote a senior history thesis. Its topic was the developmental history of Caltech 1920-1940. It included my oral history interview of Earnest Watson, a close assistant to Millikan in those early years.
