 The Dartmouth
Computing Timeline - The history of the Peter Kiewit Computing
Services organization at Dartmouth spans nearly 40 years. Dartmouth has made
many contributions to the world of computing and information technology,
including the development of BASIC, and the development of the remote computing
network.
 Unplugged: The Great
Dis-Connect (2004) - First came computer pioneer John
Kemeny, next came the Macintosh revolution, which Dartmouth heartily embraced.
Now the College embarks on its third wave of computing innovations by
blanketing the campus with a first-rate wireless network.
 The Computer
and the Campus: An Interview with John Kemeny (1991) - In
the modern era, it was John Kemeny who made Dartmouth a world leader in college
computing. With his colleague, Thomas Kurtz, Kemeny designed an time-sharing
system and wrote the language BASIC. As president of Dartmouth, Kemeny led the
school to the forefront of academic computing.
