Extractions: died: December 26, 1992 in Hanover, New Hampshire Co-inventor of BASIC. Einstein's mathematical assistant. Leader and innovator in mathematics education. President of Dartmouth College. By all means mathematicians should learn all the pure mathematics they want. But they must also learn applications. Get to be an expert in either the social sciences or in computer science. John Kemeny spent his boyhood in Budapest. At that time Hungary had no great industries and very few opportunities for a bright young person, so many of the best and brightest became teachers. It is unfortunate that they had so few choices open to them, but as a result they educated a generation of students which contained a number of world-class mathematicians and physicists all out of proportion to the population of that small nation. and von Neumann are only two of the brightest stars of this group. These teachers looked for talented students and then nurtured and honed them with strong teaching and national competitions. Kemeny feels that the teacher he had for grades 5-8 would have been well qualified to teach at a small college. The Kemeny family moved to New York City in 1940, and John attended high school there. He attended Princeton during World War II, and, since all of the young faculty were drafted or working on military projects, his teachers for the beginning courses in analytic geometry and calculus were some of the best known mathematicians in America. Kemeny's interests were primarily mathematical, but he also has roughly the equivalent of a Masters degree in Philosophy and his first full-time teaching position, in 1951, was in philosophy at Princeton. During his undergraduate days, he also worked on the Manhattan Project (the A bomb) in Los Alamos, NM. As a graduate student, he worked as Einstein's mathematical assistant:

Extractions: John Kemeny attended primary school in Budapest. He came from a Jewish family and, in 1940, his father had the good sense to take his family to the United States. Understandably, not all the family wanted to leave their home but Kemeny's grandfather, who refused to leave, died in the Holocaust. An aunt and uncle of Kemeny's also failed to survive the Nazis. Kemeny's family settled in New York and John attended high school in New York City. Kemeny entered Princeton where he studied mathematics and philosophy, but he took a year off during his undergraduate course to work on the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos. His boss in Los Alamos was Richard Feynman and he also worked there with von Neumann Returning to Princeton, Kemeny graduated with his B.A. in 1947, then worked for his doctorate under Alonzo Church 's supervision. Kemeny was awarded his doctorate in 1949 for a dissertation entitled

Extractions: Date: December 1992 John Kemeny will be remembered for his contributions to computing and mathematics education, and also for the sweeping changes he brought to Dartmouth during his eleven years as president of this prestigious Ivy League college. Born in Budapest, Hungary, Kemeny came to the United States in 1940 and, after completing his high school education in New York, attended Princeton University. His undergraduate work was interrupted while he worked on the Manhatten project in Los Alamos. Kemeny's student years were times of exciting developments in mathematics, particularly in the areas of logic and computing. John took full advantage of his opportunity to learn from the greats; he worked with fellow Hungarians John von Neumann and Leo Szilard at Los Alamos, wrote his Ph.D. thesis with Alonzo Church, and was a research assistant to Albert Einstein. He was on his way to a traditional distinguished scholarly career as a promising young assistant professor at Princeton with a joint appointment in mathematics and philosophy when he decided instead to accept the challenge of developing a new mathematics department at a college which he had barely heard of and which was certainly not known as a center of excellence in mathematics. Kemeny came to Dartmouth only 27 year old and was given great freedom to develop a mathematics program. He had already written his first book A Philosopher Looks at Science that had been well received. Even at this early age Kemeny showed the special abilities that were to become his trademark. He was extremely bright and a remarkable problem solver. Given a complex problem, be it mathematical, political, or social, John could come up with a simple, elegant and practical solution. One of the first to anticipate the central role that computing would come to play in our world, Kemeny insisted that some knowledge of computing was an integral part of a liberal education. To make the computer accessible to undergraduates, a notion nearly unheard of at the time, he and his colleague Tom Kurtz developed one of the world's first time-sharing systems.

Extractions: Obituary of John Kemeny obituary John G. Kemeny , born May 31, 1926, president of Dartmouth College from 1971 to 1980, was a mathematician and an assistant to Albert Einstein. Kemeny, who served as president of Dartmouth from 1970 to 1981, was a Hungarian by birth, a Princetonian by education and an esteemed mathematician. Reversing a 203-year tradition of single-sex education, he presided over the coeducation of Dartmouth in 1972. He also instituted the "Dartmouth Plan" of year-round operations, thereby allowing a significant increase in the size of the student body without a corresponding increase in the college's physical facilities. During his administration Dartmouth became more active in recruiting and retaining minority students and revived its founding commitment to providing education for Native Americans. In addition to his contributions to Dartmouth, Kemeny worked in the theoretical division of the Los Alamos Project, was a research assistant to Albert Einstein and chaired the 12-person commission organized by President Carter to investigate the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant accident. The co-inventor, with Thomas Kurtz, of the BASIC computer language, Kemeny made Dartmouth a pioneer in student use of computers, equating computer literacy with reading literacy. Starting in 1959 with a Royal McBee LGP-30, Kemeny and Kurtz searched for a way to bring computing to undergraduates at Dartmouth College. With Fernando Corbató's development of time-sharing in 1961, they saw a way to reach their goal and conceived a system that would not only serve students' educational needs but also permit implementation by students. With Thomas Kurtz he invented the programming language Basic and the Dartmouth Time Sharing System (DTSS).

Extractions: Date: December 13, 2001 The newspaper said John G. Kemeny, 13th president of Dartmouth College, died of heart failure. Clearly this was a mistake. John Kemeny's heart never failed anyone. It was altogether fitting that at St. Thomas Episcopal Church we prayed for "the eternal rest of President Kemeny's immortal soul." Although he was a Jew, in John Kemeny there was no east nor west, no north nor south. He was an ecumenical man in the truest sense of the word: "of or from the whole world." During that service Gil Tanis '38, who served President Kemeny as an executive officer, rose to speak. The laudatory obits in the Times and the Globe, Tanis said, "ignored an important fact about Kemeny: his love of teaching. No matter how crowded his schedule, John Kemeny found time to teach. Teaching was his joy." In fact, John Kemeny agreed to become president of Dartmouth in 1970 on one condition: that he be allowed to continue teaching. When the chairman of the Board of Trustees objected-the presidency was too demanding-Kemeny asked what the Trustees would say if he wanted two hours off each week to play golf. That did it. Throughout his presidency he taught two classes a year, from far-out computer science to freshman math. Having lamented that "math is the only subject you can study for l4 years and not learn a single thing that has been done since 1800," he and his math colleague, Laurie Snell, strung logic, probability, and matrix algebra into a course so fresh that it merited a new name: Finite Math. Professor Kemeny was "remarkable in his ability to understand what a student didn't understand and re-explain it," recalls former student Rob Salzman '76.
