Following are excerpts from "The Knight Is Still Young",
[UL:OSU Monthly:UL], January 1959 -- Prof. Knight was born
in 1864 on a farm fronting the Olentangy River in Delaware
County, O. His family moved to Columbus when he was six and
he was educated in the local schools through the eighth
grade. Having a flair for things mechanical, he went into
factory work as an aprentice machinist, soon earned his
standing as a journeyman machinist and stationary engineer.
[In one of the factories where he first worked] light was
provided by burning torches ... he quickly corrected the
situation by building a dynamo which furnished the plant its
own electricity. He came to the [OSU] campus in 1893 as an
assistant in the department of mechanical practice ... and
foreman of the machine shop. By obtaining private
instruction and attending classes whenever he wasn't
teaching, he earned the necessary credits for a mechanical
engineering degree in 1900 and later became a full professor
as well as department chairman. He retired in 1932. [He
authored] numerous articals on machine shop practice for
technical publications, he [was] also a life member of the
Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education and a
Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science. Each year from about 1923 to 1943, he and a group
of other professors journeyed to the North Woods. Accounts
of these excursions to Canada were later rehashed by the
participants at Faculty Club dinners ... as "Tales Around
the Campfire". And "tales" they became, [said] Prof. Knight
... [practicing] Grover Cleveland's dictum that "its
permissible to embelish a story so long as you don't depart
too far from the truth." For awhile during the forties,
Prof. Knight had an unusual house pet -- an aligator. It
came from Florida, via a nephew in Columbus. It was only a
foot in length on arrival but grew to 52 inches before he
decided to send it to relatives in Orlando, Fla. He built a
heated pool in the basement for his pet, Oscar, because he
discovered that warm water was a must for aligators. Oscar
proved to be a docile pet who was content to lie in the pool
or under the hot water tank. But he got too cumbersome for
Prof. Knight to lift into the pool and had to be disposed
of.
