		The first dean of the Moore School was Dr. Harold Pender.
		The first computer course was given at the Moore School in Summer 1946, leading to an explosion in computer development all over the world.

	Computers at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School, 1943-1946
		Dean Pender of the Moore School had assigned the task of liaison with Ordnance to John Grist Brainerd, who was then a professor in the Moore School and who was later to be Director.
		He alone of the staff of the Moore School knew a lot about the design of the standard electromechanical IBM machines of the period and was able to suggest to the engineers how to handle various design problems by analogy to methods used by IBM.
		It is my considered opinion that the lack of technical participation by the senior staff of the Moore School was real--probably unavoidable as the school was then structured--and ultimately led to its loss of leadership in the field it had pioneered.

		Under Pender's direction, the Moore School constructed a differential analyzer for use in solving problems in power and ballistics, leading to the 1946 development of ENIAC.
		Pender's own distinguished research career involved basic experimental studies of electric and magnetic fields and applied research in electrical power, a significant societal problem at the turn of the century.
		His early research on the relationship of electric circuits to magnetic fields demonstrated quantitatively for the first time that a moving electrical charge produces a magnetic field.

		Mauchly, Eckert, Brainerd, Dr. Harold Pender (Dean of Moore School), and other members of the staff worked rapidly to develop a proposal presented to Colonel Leslie E. Simon, BRL Director, in April and immediately submitted to the Chief of Ordnance.
		The second of the great influences was a series of 48 lectures given at the Moore School in July and August 1946, entitled "Theory and Techniques for the Design of Electronic Digital Computers." Eckert and Mauchly were both principal lecturers, even though they had left Moore School to form their own company.
		It was decided that Moore School would design and build a preliminary model, while IAS would undertake a program to develop a large-scale comprehensive computer.

	Essay: My Career in Computer Architecture
		IBM put in a valiant effort toward convincing us that System 360 was the right choice, and we had to explain to their top management how the 360 architecture failed to address the problem of achieving the rapid reallocation of resources demanded by the time-sharing environment.
		Nevertheless, we found a willing collaborator in John Couleur of the General Electric Company, and developed the Multics hardware, the first computer system with hardware support for large numbers of paged segments of virtual memory, as the GE 645 system, a major variant of the GE 635 product.
		To any hardware engineer the obvious answer is to put multiple processors on a chip, and this is now being done.

		The switches used in most early computers were electromechanical relays, developed for the telephone system, but they soon gave way to vacuum tubes, which could turn an electric current on or off much more quickly.
		The first large-scale, all-electronic computer, ENIAC, took shape late in the war at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering under the guidance of John Mauchly and John Presper Eckert.
		Building such a machine posed considerable engineering challenges, and EDVAC would not be the first to clear the hurdles.
