I do recall my history prof's names though: Dr. Stuart Semel and Dr. Karl Bottigheimer were both in British History. I'm sitting here trying to remember the name of the German or Swiss professor who taught the courses in the history of Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Fairly tall, very slim, probably in his 60s at the time, and with pure white hair.
When I took organic at SUNY SB, you would have needed a pair of binoculars to see the professor. There were more than 500 people in the class. I got a B without much effort. The little plus signs and arrows and neat little percent yields pale in comparative difficulty to real organic synthesis. There, it's 'react A with B, and get mostly C (hopefully, what you wanted) some D (junk you toss) and a slumgullion of God knows what, that you have to scrape out of the flask.'

P-chem...now that was tough. Getting a B in that course was one of my greatest academic achievements.

Same here: It was in that big Lecture Hall/Auditorium thing or whatever they called it. Past the History Dept buildings, walk toward the campus center and then go left (when coming in from the parking garage) ... if memory serves.
