Coming from a small high school with 29 classmates, I wondered if I “belonged” at M.I.T. My fraternity brothers really helped me out with some tutoring during my freshman year [not to mention the parties]. Prof. Dan Kemp, who joined the Course V faculty in 1964, inspired me to major in organic chemistry which I have enjoyed for the rest of my career. His mentorship was invaluable and the most significant experience at the Institute. It’s hard to imagine, but we had a “tuition riot” in 1964 when the tuition was raised to $ 1700/semester ! The total cost of my M.I.T.education [all in] was $ 16,000. The best memories are certainly around the intense learning atmosphere and the unbelieveble quality of the Pat Confalone & Family - Christmas 2016 professors.
