Pablo, Thanks for the Ateneo link. I noticed you are in the Dept of Information Systems and Computer Science. In 1961-65 computer science was not a formal academic discipline at the Ateneo, or anywhere else. I don't recall there being any computers at all on campus. Computers were extremely expensive then. In 1972, a 256KW PDP-10 with 2 x 20 MB Disk drives running TOPS-10 cost well over $1 million. On the other hand, there were courses on natural language, phonology and universal grammar which are hot topics today. It was a great experience.
