Experience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Laboratory for Computer Science
Colbrook Adrian · Engineering Science and Education Journal · 1992
On the banks of the Charles River an institution has arisen that is recognised throughout the world for its unique contribution to our life and times. Established 130 years ago this spring, MIT did not become yet another comprehensive university. Nor did it become simply an engineering school or a polytechnic institute. Rather it became a wellspring of scientific and technological knowledge and practice.(Charles M. Vest, President of MIT, Inaugural Address, May 1991)
