It proved a better fit, and soon enough, Morse tried out for the football team so he could write a year’s worth of columns chronicling his exploits as skinny but slow wide receiver. After graduation, Morse combined his engineering degree with his interest in writing and, as if it had been planned all along, took a position at Civil Engineering magazine in New York.
