My second year at Rice was a step up into more engineering courses and fewer liberal arts courses. Math was Advanced Analysis, really just a more advanced calculus course,

Logic - in the Philosophy Department, Advanced Physics, Engineering Mechanics, Engineering Computational Lab and German.

School was harder this second year. Commuting to campus was worse than I had imagined. Squabbles with roommates led to a dissolution of the 4 way apartment. The second semester Steve Treadwell and I moved to a one bedroom on Swanson Street (across the street from the Cecil street apartment).

I liked my German class - a lot because the prof, Doug Milburn was a really good teacher. There was a German club, Eulenspiegel - Owl Mirror - that had beer nights with German singing.

The Engineering computational lab started me on my lifelong career in computing. E. C. Holt was the teacher. Our computer was an IBM 1620.
