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

https://computerhistory.org/blog/discovering-dennis-ritchies-lost-dissertation/

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

It would seem fitting to try to get this posthumously corrected.

If we provided said bound copy, does anyone have any Harvard contacts that could facilitate?
