The Pillsbury-Occidental Company and Kiewit sponsored the First Annual
Computer Art Contest in the spring of 1969. Judge John
Scotford of the Hopkins Center Design Studio found the computer to be
"as promising for the future as the chisel and the paint brush." Winners were
physics graduate student Albert Meador and Dartmouth freshman
James Cruce.

As part of Dartmouth's Jersey City Project, two engineering students began
"programming five areas of the city for a computer system that would operate at
City Hall, the Jersey City Medical Center, the Ferris and Lincoln high schools,
and the Dartmouth student residence at 310 Whiton Street." Spokesman
Anthony Ferrara remarked that "the talent of these students is
free to the city. They, in turn, gain from exposure to inner-city
problems."
