Fix this conflict

[edit]

At present the article claims that

Zimmerman was trained as a child in classical music, but quickly abandoned his studies to pursue his love for ragtime when his magic teacher played a honky-tonk record by "one of the great American composers, Scott Joplin."

But the next paragraph has this:

In 1956 he enrolled at Stanford University where he received degrees in civil and mechanical engineering. Zimmerman later went on to design games for Mattel, Inc. As a freshman, a classmate introduced him to the rags of Scott Joplin.

So when did Zimmerman first get interested in ragtime--as a child OR as a university student?
