Claus was born in Skelleftea, Sweden, a town so close to the Arctic Circle that electric lights are not used between the months ot’ May thru August. (Claus prob~ ably takes to the present Chicago weather like a polar bear to an iceberg, that lucky man.) He came to America at the age of 19 in 1926. Elie worked with a construc- tion gang almost continuously, with a few breaks to visit Sweden and a winter in a log- ging comp, until he came to the newly formed Illinois Tech in 1940 with the buildings and grounds department.
