Three Clubs Sponsor Computer Conferences
The Impact of Computers and the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System will be the topics of discussion in a one-day conference conducted by the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration in three eastern cities this month and next. The conferences will be sponsored by the Dartmouth Club of Washington (Thursday, March 9), the Dartmouth Club of Philadelphia (Saturday, March 11) and the Dartmouth Alumni Association of New York (Tuesday, April 11).
The traveling team from Tuck School will include Dean Karl A. Hill '38, Professor J. Peter Williamson, Associate Professor Richard S. Bower, and Assistant Professor Christopher E. Nugent.
During the session the instructors will introduce and demonstrate the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System by means of an input station connected to the Kiewit Computation Center in Hanover, and they will show the computer language BASIC and LAFFF1 that have been developed for it. They will provide practical examples of system use as an aid to the decision of individual and business firms. They will also involve the audience in a conversational exchange with the computer.
The Washington conference will be held at the Statler-Hilton Hotel (Federal Room). In Philadelphia the session will be at the General Electric Valley Forge Space Technology Center (cafeteria), and in New York in the Windsor Room of the Hotel Commodore. All sessions begin at 9:30 a.m. and will conclude by 5 p.m. Lunch will be provided as part of the registration fee for each conference.
