I think Veblen had an interest in logic.

Here at Wisconsin we didn't get an undergraduate course in mathematical logic until the '60s.

In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine.

I read one or two other books which gave me a background in mathematics other than logic.

It wasn't until my second year that I got to actually work with Church.
