Listen to the interview:

Editor's Note: Due to equipment failure, the bulk of George Day's telephone interview was lost during recording. We were able to rescue only a small portion of the interview. The audio picks up with George describing his return to campus for his senior year after a nine-year absence. Our profound apologies to Prof. Day.
