Just for the record (and asking Mr. Bryder's indulgence):

Rogers and Kelly did not overlap at O.S.U.

Rotter was Director of the Clinical Program when I was admitted (Spring,
1962), but soon resigned to go to U.Conn (1964).

Kelly succeeded Rotter as Director of the Clinical Program, but soon
resigned (1965) to go to Brandeis (I went along with him).

You are right, however, that it was a very exciting place to be in those days.
