He was born in 1911, so his degree must have been about 1932 or 1933. It was called Alabama Polytechnic Institute then, but so many people called it Auburn because that was the name of the town where the campus was, that they eventually officially renamed it Auburn University. I also have an older brother who got a bachelor's degree in education from Auburn. I went to the University of Alabama myself. I had no idea Auburn was that expensive.
