The department office at Urbana has kept a fairly full and accurate record of my academic activities since my return in 1968 until 1988, when computer garble lost the record. There is nothing like that for previous years. In rapid summary, my ten years at Berkeley included practically every kind of departmental chore and fairly heavy teaching. I gave some papers there, and also, during that interval, at Stanford, Pomona , Irvine , Texas , and Iowa . I gave a paper to the Pacific Division of the APS and appeared as a colloquiast before the Eastern and Western Divisions.
