At Purdue, students showed their respect to Professor Wagenblast twice. Once in the mid-late 60s and againt in the early-mid 80s. With a switchblade the first time, a pistol the second.
He finally got smart and moved to IU, were engineers don't exist and aren't having their dreams crushed by a cantankerous professor who can't relate to student or show patience in assisting their learning in a do or die critical class.
Said both my older brother, who was chasiing a EE (+15 years older than me) and friends who had the guy in 1981-1982, when I was there, they were all surprised that he didn't get shot in the middle of EVERY class.
Couldn't find a link to the guy's events - other than his recent retirement after 40 years, in 2006.
