He maha nga wa i neke ai ia i a ia e tamariki ana na te mahi a tona papa ki MetLife. I noho te whanau ki Ottawa, Lausanne, New York City, me Wallingford, Connecticut. I whakaakona a North i te Whare Wananga o Ashbury i Ottawa, Ontario me te Kura Choate i Wallingford, Connecticut. I whakaaetia ia ki Harvard i te wa ano i riro ai tona papa hei upoko o MetLife i te takutai hauauru, no reira i kowhiria e te Raki te haere ki te Whare Wananga o California, Berkeley. I te tau 1942, i puta ia me te B.A. i roto i te General Curriculum-Humanities. Ahakoa ko ana tohu he pai ake i te "C" toharite, i taea e ia te whakaoti i tetahi kaupapa nui e toru i roto i te putaiao torangapu, te rapunga whakaaro me te ohanga. Ko te tangata e kore e whakaae ki te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao, ka noho a North hei kaipuke i te Merchant Marine, e haere ana i waenga o San Francisco me Ahitereiria. I taua wā, i ako ia i te ohaoha, ā, i tīmata i tana mahi whakairoiro. I whakaakona e ia te whakatere i te Kura o nga Kaitohutohu Ratonga Moana i Alameda i te tau whakamutunga o te pakanga, a i raru ia ki te whakatau mena ka waiho hei kaiwhakaahua, hei ohanga ranei. I hoki a North ki UC Berkeley ki te whai i te PhD i roto i te ohanga. I mutu tana ako i te 1952 i te wa i tiimata ai ia hei kaihauturu i te Whare Waananga o Washington. I mate a North i te Noema 23, 2015, i tana whare raumati i Benzonia, Michigan mai i te mate pukupuku o te esophageal i te 95 o ona tau.  Pātai: He aha te wānanga i whakatauhia e ia kia haere ki reira, ahakoa i whakaaetia ia ki Harvard?
