[ih] PhD

[Dan Lynch]

In an earlier post someone was posting about Gordon Bell and his wife Gwen. It correctly attributed a PhD degree to Gwen and incorrectly to Gordon. Gordon had a Masters degree. Of course he gave out PhDs while at CMU. The early days of computer science found a number of brilliant people leading the field without advanced academic degrees of their own. Frothy times!  

I, myself, taught computer science without ever having taken a course in it. Early times. 60s. 

Cheers,

Dan
