| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Walter Buss. "When I came back to Weber in the spring of '42, of course, everything was upset. Everyone was working double jobs because there was so many people going into the service and the student load didn't decrease too much of course the boys were not there, the girls were. But it didn't reduce the teaching load very much and you couldn't get gasoline to do field work. So, it wasn't till 1945 that we could do anything on the field work and and then the professor on whom I started the problem retired." |
