Burton Cecil Newbry
Graduated in 1947
Major: English
Age at publication: 100 years old
We encourage you to read an interview of 100-year old Burt Newbry titled “Reminiscences from a College of Idaho Centurion” on the 追求 Extra page at www.attrezzatureagricoleusate.com/quest-magazine. Newbry shares recollections he has a student and faculty member at the College. The article includes a story when, as a student, Newbry remembers “when my friend Art Hart and I chased a pig all over campus – there were several inches of snow on the ground and we were slipping and sliding all around. 我们从来没有抓住过那该死的东西,不过我不记得我们曾经有过什么计划。”
Newbry also sent the following letter to 追求 magazine in December 2019:
On my 100th birthday, 8/28/19, I had intended to express my deep gratitude to the C of I for what it contributed to my life and my career, but I failed to do so. 迟做总比不做好。 因此,无论它是否发表在《探索》杂志上,我希望现任政府知道我的观点,并对学院表示感谢。
我和其他许多二战老兵一样,在《退伍军人权利法案》(GI Bill®)的资助下,就读于加州理工学院。 我想对我所亚美体育提供的C表示感谢:
- 我很感激这些优秀的教授,他们可能比大多数小学院的教授还要好。
- For Margaret “Babe” Boone, an almost legendary figure at the C of I, who hired me.
- 感谢(安娜·史密斯)艾克夫人,她是我的主要教授,她的推荐使我获得了蒙大拿州立大学的助教奖学金,并在那里获得了硕士学位。
- For providing the greatest good fortune of all, Ella Stone, with whom I had three boys, one of whom graduated from the College (Burt Newbry ’80), as did two granddaughters, all with excellent records.
- 具有讽刺意味的是,校长保罗·皮特曼(1950年至1954年爱达荷学院校长),我讨厌他,学术人员也讨厌他。
具有讽刺意味的是,在让我辞职的同时,也让我走上了一条全新的道路,首先在内华达大学教授三个不同的学科。 But after only three years there, I was recruited to the State Department and was asked to accept an assignment in Korea. I served there, then Nigeria, then Thailand, then Washington D.C., then Nepal, from which I was put on loan to the World Bank for two years (all three boys completed pre-college overseas).
因此,我在职业生涯中所做的一切都归功于亚美体育,甚至包括经济学课程(我学到的一件事是,“沉闷的科学”不是科学)。
再次感谢C (I)
