Early Life and Education (1904-19)

We are much interested in discovering how you became involved with science, how you first began to pursue it, and what encouragement you received. In particular:
How was your interest in science first awakened? Who encouraged your interest and how? When did you determine on a career in science ? What were the opportunities for such a career in the United States at the time? What sort of support was available (in the way of scholarships, etc.) to a capable student?
How much mathematics and science were you taught at the Gymnasium in Dresden? How well prepared were you in these subjects when you entered the University?
