The college established a computation center in 1956. Purchased for the computation center, the IBM 650 was the first modern digital computer installed for research and teaching at a school of higher learning. The computer was revolutionary for its ability to deliver the numbers of systems in the thousands; however, the computer only had the capability of storing 2,000 bytes of information. c. 1956"
