P: Of course, you had to get some furniture too.

R: I will tell you what we had in the beginning. We had a bed for us, a bed for
 Barbara, a card table, and four chairs.

P: Luxury living.

R: With the passage of time, [we] added a chair here and there. I remember when we
 got a couch, that was a big deal. That is the way it was.

P: Of course, everybody was living exactly the same way. Okay, tell me about the things
 you were doing on campus. What were you teaching?

R: I taught the micro and the macro economics, the two freshman courses in economics,
 and I really did enjoy it.

P: Who was chair of the economics department?

R: Oscar [Edward] Heskin [professor of economics].

P: Who else was teaching economics at the time?

R: John [Wesley] Kennedy [assistant professor of economics], and a little fellow named
 [Carl E.] Calahan [instructor in economics] who went on to the University of
 Alabama; Tex [Clifton] Oliver [assistant professor of business organization and
 operation], [Clement Harold] Clem Donovan [professor of public finance] was a
 senior professor, but he was not chairman yet; Elmo [Louis] Jackson [associate
 professor of economics]. They might have only taught one section of principles.

P: But it was a growing department, and it was a growing enrollment at the University.

R: In fact, we were all teaching in those barracks.

P: Those temporaries, as they called them, that they brought in from Camp Blanding
 and other places. And I believe the building you would have taught in was just to
 the east of Language Hall, or now Anderson Hall.

R: Yes. It was right there almost at the corner of the campus.

P: Near Library East. Because that [building] stood for many years. That has only
 been demolished in the last ten or twelve years I guess.

R: And our offices, Sam, were in a house across University Avenue.

P: I know, those houses that belong to the University now. Tell me about the students.

R: Many students were veterans.
