摘要

When applied mathematician David W. McLaughlin arrived as a freshman at Creighton University (Omaha, NE), his guidance counselor greeted him with a curious statement. "I assume you are going to try to get a Ph.D.," the counselor told the young McLaughlin, whom he had just met. The remark was surprising to McLaughlin, because he had grown up in small-town Iowa in the 1950s, where graduate college degrees were not common. "I was so taken aback. That really changed my perspective, as strange as that might sound," says McLaughlin, who took the assumption to heart and went on to earn a doctorate in physics. "I have no idea why he said that, but it was effective."
