Abstract

Several Finnish universities established chairs in computer science/information processing in 1965-68. Rather than reflecting natural evolution within universities, external needs motivated this. The first professors came fi-om computing practice but had also academic ambitions. This paper is a recollection on how the new discipline developed in an atmosphere of conflicting goals. © 2005 by International Federation for Information Processing. All rights reserved.
