I was about to get a degree in economics when I accepted that I'd be a lousy businessman, and if I didn't give acting a try I'd regret it for the rest of my life.

I went to military college in Canada and graduated as an officer in the Navy but also as an engineer.

North Dakota State. What do you have to do there to graduate? Milk a cow with your left hand?

Each year India and China produce four million graduates compared with just over 250,000 in Britain.

I received my undergraduate degree in engineering in 1939 and a Master of Science degree in mathematical physics in 1941 at Steven Institute of Technology.
