Abstract

When I finished high school in 1954, I had been admitted to several colleges around Philadelphia, since going away would add room and board to the cost. As a B student with As in math and some science courses, I received no scholarship offers, and there was no such thing as need-based support. While deciding what to do next, I looked for a summer job and came upon an ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer’s help-wanted section for a lab technician at the Eldridge Reeves Johnson Foundation for Research in Medical Physics. Hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, the foundation was based on a legacy from the founder of the Victor Talking Machine Company, which was later swallowed up by RCA. It seemed interesting so I called them and was interviewed on a Saturday morning.

我在日本对外经济交流协会的日子

1954 年高中毕业时，我被费城附近的几所大学录取，因为去外地会增加食宿费用。我的数学和一些科学课程成绩为 B，没有获得任何奖学金，也没有基于需求的资助。在决定下一步该怎么做时，我开始寻找暑期工作，并在《费城问询报》的求助版面上看到了一则广告，招聘埃尔德里奇-里夫斯-约翰逊医学物理研究基金会的实验室技术员。该基金会由宾夕法尼亚大学主办，其基础是维克多录音机公司创始人的遗产，该公司后来被 RCA 收购。这似乎很有趣，于是我给他们打了电话，并在一个周六上午接受了采访。

期刊介绍： The IEEE Annals of the History of Computing serves as a record of vital contributions which recount, preserve, and analyze the history of computing and the impact of computing on society. Where possible, first hand accounts of events and activities are recorded with minimal editorial change, and scholarly reports of analyses of the historical record from archives and personal contact are published so as to better understand both the past and the future of our field.
