Thesis

For the first time in some decades, I’ve just revisited and re-read my thesis. Lord help me, I’m still not embarrassed by it. Should you be moved to look at it, you may have a contrasting reaction, but I still believe what I wrote then. I still believe that the world would be better if the people in charge were to think in the way I recommended, ’way back in my grad-student days, nearly half a century ago. So I’ll treat this episode more fully and lovingly than some others.

The bound thesis pictured here resides in my SuchALife library. The originals of most of these illustrations, together with various items of correspondence associated with the project, occupy a folder labeled “Thesis Correspondence” in the SuchALife file drawer.
