    At a Glance

    In 1965 Carnegie Mellon established the Computer Science Department with the support of a $5 million grant from the Richard K. Mellon Foundation. Alan Perlis was the first head of the department and first program was the Ph.D. program in CS. Among other notable achievements the Smiley started here with then CS faculty member Scott Fahlman. :-)
