In the meantime, think about how many computer science departments earned their reputation by writing an important piece of code: MIT’s X Window, Athena, and Lisp Machine; CMU’s Andrew File System, Mach, and Lycos; Berkeley’s Unix; the University of Kansas’ Lynx; Columbia’s Kermit. Where are those today? What have the universities given us lately? What’s the best college for a high school senior who really loves programming but isn’t so excited about lambda calculus?
