Chapter 12 NIMH-SCOR: A pioneering center at Stanford

Abstract

I received a traditional undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa. Under the very inflexible British system of higher education then in place in South Africa, my civil engineering degree allowed me just one elective in four years – either German-English or French-English technical translation. I was not allowed to enroll in courses in such “irrelevant” fields as economics or law, much less sociology.
