Anne Ludington
Head of the Math and Computer Science Department at Hamilton College, prominent in the college’s early computing expansion in the mid-1980s. She led the acquisition of eighteen Apple Macintosh personal computers for the Computer Science Center (in Burke Library basement) in fall 1985, the most significant expansion of campus computing to that point. Ludington articulated the case for the Macs in instruction (CS 141 and CS 242) and described plans to offer a formal computer science concentration “within a couple of years.” She was also an early personal adopter of the Macintosh for her own academic work, replacing longhand drafts. She expressed appreciation for administrative support of the Computer Science Department.
