So I stayed at Harvard, and within six months, they offered me tenure.
I was the first.
You're about 33, 34 years old at this point?
Yes.
Okay.
And that was only three years after I arrived.
Actually, less than that, two and a half years or so.
Again, this is very strange.
Yeah, that's unusual.
It usually takes seven years.
Anyway, so they offered, and I later went and spoke with Henry.
I said...
why did you give me this advice?
I mean, did you know that I would get a tenure?
And he said, no.
I didn't know, but I thought it would be better for Harvard if you stayed.
Ah, that's wonderful.
So I ended up being tenured at Harvard after working really hard.
And it's not something that you can just give up.
So I decided not to go.
