	John George Kemeny - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Kemeny attended primary school in Budapest, emigrating to the United States in 1940.
		Kemeny was awarded his doctorate in 1949 for a dissertation entitled "Type-Theory vs. Set-Theory".
		Kemeny was appointed to the Dartmouth Mathematics Department in 1953.

	Dartmouth BASIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The language was designed by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz as part of the Dartmouth Time Sharing System (DTSS) and was the one of the first programming languages intended to be used interactively.
		However on May 1, 1964 at 4 am, John Kemeny and John McGeachie ran the first BASIC programs to be executed successfully from terminals by the DTSS system.
		In 1979 Kemeny and Kurtz released an ANSI BASIC compiler as the seventh and final version of BASIC at Dartmouth before leaving the college to concentrate on the further development of ANSI BASIC in the form of True BASIC.

		Years later, Kemeny was to note that one undergraduate working one afternoon, using a 1970 time sharing computer could solve as many differential equations as the whole Los Alamos team did in a whole year and there could be 100 other users on the computer at the same time.
		Kemeny welcomed FORTRAN because it made much more sense to him to teach a machine a language that is easier for human beings to learn than to force every human to learn the machine's own language.
		Kemeny and Kurtz made an effort to get as many students as possible using BASIC and they were available to hear about problems and bugs and to come up with bug fixes.

		Kemeny described it as the year "a nuclear accident happened to the president of Dartmouth." His humor and presence through turbulent times was equaled only by that of his wife, Jean, herself a beloved figure in the Dartmouth community.

		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.
		Kemeny was also very critical of the accuracy of the reports of the accident which appeared in the news.
		Kemeny is also the co-author, with Thomas Kurtz, of the computer programming language BASIC (Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), the most widely used programming language in the world.

		In fact, John Kemeny agreed to become president of Dartmouth in 1970 on one condition: that he be allowed to continue teaching.
		Although John had never heard a word of English before he was 13, he graduated from Princeton in three years with enough credits to major in philosophy as well as math.
		President John Kemeny, the ecumenical man, ended his last commencement exercises with the words he used to conclude every conmmencement, words that came from his heart: "Women and men of Dartmouth, all mankind is your brother-and you are your brother's keeper."

		Several versions of BASIC were introduced during the 1970s, but Kemeny and Kurtz did not feel these iterations matched the quality and ease-of-programmability of their original concept.
		Kemeny also became active in the public arena, accepting a 1979 appointment from President Jimmy Carter to investigate the Three Mile Island nuclear accident.

		As you know, you are not the first Jewish president of Dartmouth, John Kemeny was, though you are the first practicing Jew to hold the position, and Michael Paley was by no means the first Hillel rabbi; indeed he is irrelevant to the process of change.
		Nelson Rockefeller was a major influence in that presidency, and I would not be at all surprised if he played a role in the decision, and it clearly was a decision, to abandon the anti-Semitic policy of Hopkins.
		Since it was in that presidency that I was appointed and tenured, and since Dickey himself was succeded by a person known to be of Jewish origin, John Kemeny, we have to identify Dickey as the turning point.
