Thomas E. Kurtz at a teletype

Seven secondary schools in New England install teletypewriters as part of an informal experimental project to determine how a large-scale computer facility could best be used as a "broad aid to secondary school education generally." They include Philips Exeter Academy, St. Paul's School, Mount Hermon, Vermont Academy, Philips Andover Academy, Hanover High School, and Mascoma Valley Regional High School. This experiment is a precursor to the Dartmouth Educational Network, that, at its peak, serves thirty colleges and twenty secondary schools in New England, twelve colleges in Canada over dedicated teletype terminals, and scores of educational and research organizations from coast-to-coast over national commercial networks.
