This occurred at Berkeley, not Michigan. It occurred when Dantzig went back to work on his PhD. Neyman did not teach at Michigan, and did not come to the US (Berkeley) until 1938. Apologies to the University of California at Berkeley.<br /> <br /> Thanks to <a href="http://econ.la.psu.edu/~bickes/">Barry W. Ickes</a> for pointing out this mistake.
