What led to Oswald's Career

        To start off, Oswald’s father was a Baptist minister. To help his father, Oswald learned how to play the cornet to attract congregations on Sunday. Oswald became talented enough that he won a scholarship to the National Conservatory of Music. Later, Oswald attended Colgate University and graduated with a B.A. with hardly any science classes. Then, Oswald attended the College of Physicians and Surgeons to study medicine. Oswald preferred studying medicine because he saw it as more satisfying. In 1913, Oswald published his study of the tuberculosis bacterium. The project caught the eye of Dr.Rufus Cole, who was the director of the Rockefeller Institute Hospital. He offered Oswald a job there. At Rockefeller, Oswald discovered the transforming principle, which Oswald is most known for today.
