The Computer History Museum has an interesting blog post about
Dennis Ritchie's lost dissertation:

https://computerhistory.org/blog/discovering-dennis-ritchies-lost-disserta=
tion/

Interesting fact is that Dennis never received his PhD because he failed
to provide a bound copy of his dissertation to the Harvard library.
