  Dartmouth Time Sharing System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dartmouth Timesharing System, or DTSS for short, was the first large-scale time-sharing system to be implemented successfully.
Its implementation began at Dartmouth College in 1963 by a student team under the direction of John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz with the aim of providing easy access to computing facilities for all members of the college.
This method of editing was necessary because of the use of teletypes as the terminal units for the Dartmouth Timesharing system.

Dartmouth produced their BASIC timesharing system in the mid 60's, about the same time as GENIE.
Smallish timesharing systems were also produced which included TSS/8 for the PDP-8, which was inspired by a phd thesis Gordon Bell supervised at CMU, which sort of evolved into RSTS (originally called EDUSYSTEM 100) and RSTS/E. Previous message: HP 9915A

 Wellesley College Instructional Technology Home Page
From 1973 to 1977 the sole source of computing resources for academic use was the Dartmouth TimeSharing System (DTSS) which was accessed via six rented teletypewriter terminals located in the basement of Green Hall.
In many cases the off-the-shelf graphics-oriented instructional software (some even in color!) available for microcomputers was superior to that available for general time-sharing systems, so over time much of the instructional software on Wellesley's timesharing computer fell into disuse as individual faculty and departments acquired their own PCs and software.
It also put a tremendous strain of the support staff in that it was no longer enough to know the ins and outs of the central timesharing system; one also needed to master various PC operating systems and applications software.

The GE-265 that was the system running the first commercial time-sharing system is the association of a GE-235 processor and of a Datanet-30 communication processor.
The software was designed at Dartmouth College as DTSS in 1963-1964.While BASIC was the main programming language created for that system, it was also used in ALGOL and Fortran.
A peculiarity of the DTSS was that the main part of the operating system was resident in the DN-30 front-end processor and that only the user programs and their environment (e.g.the BASIC interpreter) were executed in the GE-235.

DEC had written a language called Focal, a marvelous interactive version of Algol; however, Dartmouth was promoting the use of Basic on the Dartmouth timesharing system (DTSS) and this was the best known project providing terminals to secondary schools.
When packaged systems came along in 1978, it shifted again with the market and covered the most popular applications--games and graphics.
