OLD SCHOOL It may look archaic by today's standards, but that Sperry-Rand UNIVAC 9300 mainframe, housed in the basement of Jones Hall, was state-of-the-art in 1974, when this photo was taken. The mainframe ran on punch cards, and its memory could be expanded to a whopping 32KB. Jerry Kerrick P'86, P'95, shown here, joined the faculty in 1973 to help create a computer science program, and ended up staying for 30 years. Kerrick died in December 2023 (see story); he'll be remembered in June at Summer Reunion Weekend, during the computer science program's 50th anniversary celebration.
