  abstract =     "Dartmouth College is a small university dating from
                 1769, and dedicated ``... for the education and
                 instruction of Youth of the Indian Tribes in this Land
                 in reading, writing and all parts of learning... and
                 also of English Youth and any others.'' (Wheelock
                 1769.) The undergraduate student body (now nearly 4000)
                 outnumbers all graduate students by more than 5 to 1,
                 and majors predominantly in the Social Sciences and the
                 Humanities (over 75 percent). In 1940 a milestone
                 event, not well remembered until recently (Loveday
                 1977), took place at Dartmouth. Dr. George Stibitz of
                 the Bell Telephone Laboratories demonstrated publicly
                 for the first time, at the annual meeting of the
                 American Mathematical Society, the remote use of a
                 computer over a communications line. The computer was a
                 relay calculator designed to carry out arithmetic on
                 complex numbers. The terminal was a Model 26
                 Teletype.",
