Computers have become integral to colleges and even college archives. It’s hard to remember now when they were not part of every day life.
An article from October 1, 1965 highlights some of the changes. The headline is IBM Dating Sweeps Country and it describes a new use of computers launched by students at Harvard and offered to students at Davidson for a small fee.
The article mentions an earlier computer dating service initiated at Davidson–just for first-year students. One that appears not to have worked very well for the Davidson students or their dates.
In the archives, we aren’t trying for any social dating services but we do hope to match people with memories and facts about the college. We are about to participate in a kind of online gathering – adding photographs to the DigitalNC Images of North Carolina project. If you have a favorite image from the college’s photograph collection, let us know and we’ll add to our list.
