Group at Convocation

Jerome Cox Jr., Severo Ornstein, Charles Molnar, and others gathered on stage at the Convocation on the Mississippi and preparing the LINC for demonstration.

The LINC Evaluation Program was initiated in 1963 at MIT, with support from the National Institutes of Health. Biomedical researchers from twelve institutions were selected to assemble, use, and evaluate the LINC in laboratory settings over the next two years. When the LINC team moved from MIT to Washington University’s Computer Research Laboratory in 1964, they continued to provide support to the program. A final LINC Evaluation Program meeting known as the “Convocation on the Mississippi” took place in St. Louis on March 18-19, 1965. All sessions were held in the Washington University School of Medicine Auditorium, and the conference proceedings and participants’ final reports were compiled into the volume seen here.
