  • Classmate Biographies
    CLASSMATE BIOGRAPHIES 38 David Jeffrey Abeshouse Course: VIII Tell us about your recollections of your student years at MIT: I lived in Student House, which is essentially on the B.U. campus. If I recall correctly, it was a mile walk to MIT. That walk, in all kinds of weather, is one of my strongest, if not favorable, memories of my years there. Unless something unusual happened, I made the round trip just once a day. Student House is near Kenmore Square and Fenway Park. The gates to Fenway would open in the sixth inning then, and there were mostly afternoon games, so we would go up to the park occasionally to see, for free, the last three innings. We saw Ted Williams regularly. Student House was also next to the Charles, and it was fun to go down near the river in pleasant weather. I struggled to survive academically, but I did it. I don't remember the name of the professor who lectured our freshman chemistry course, but he spoke in a monotone, and I fell asleep practically every time. I finally went to a different lecture section. I have a poor sense of direction and was regularly lost around the campus and often rushing to get to class. Once in my sophomore year I was rushing and rounded a corner and almost flattened Norbert Wiener. He had a large abdomen, and, from my point of view, the collision was soft. The work on my senior paper was done in building 20. That was a fine place to spend a lot of time.
