While attending Reed College as a physics major, Aris Silzars knew he wanted to continue with his education and obtain an advanced degree. By chance, he happened to meet Professor B. Gale Dick, who taught physics at the University of Utah. Silzars applied to the U, along with other schools, but found the U gave him the best opportunity. "The late Dr. Dick was instrumental in getting me to come to Utah."
