The picture is complicated, because outside the EECS department, they all did their own thing - e.g. in the mid-70's I took a programming intro couse in the Civil Engineering department which used Fortran. But in EECS, in the mid-70's, their intro programming course used assembler (PDP-11), Algol, and LISP - very roughly, a third of the time in each. Later on, I think it used CLU (hey, that was MIT-grown :-). I think Scheme was used later. In both of these cases, I have no idea if it was _only_ CLU/Scheme, or if they did part of it in other languages. Noel
