Mit Bookplate Of Computer Pioneer Willis H Ware, With His Completed 1943 Reply To Mit To Update His Address, Signed By Him At End. Ware Graduated From Mit In 1942 And Was Then Working At T…he Haseltine Corporation, Prior To His Pioneering Work On Computers. Ware'S Participation In A Classified World War Ii Project To Identify Friendly Aircraft Led The Mathematician John Von Neumann To Recruit Him To Help Develop A Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton, N.J., In 1946. That Machine Was Not The First Digital Computer, But It Was Based On A Set Of Design Ideas Described By Dr. Von Neumann That Were Broadly Influential — First On The Design Of Computers Built By Scientists Around The World, And Then On An Early Ibm Computer Known As The 701. Many Of These Concepts Are Still Visible In The Structure Of Modern Computers And Smartphones. Mr. Ware, Part Of A Small Group Of Engineers Working On That Machine, Was The First To Try To Engineer Many Of The Components That Would Become Vital To Modern Computers. His Experience In Designing High-Speed Electronic Circuits During The War Was Essential To His Work On The Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study, Said George Dyson, A Historian Of The Project. Moving To Los Angeles, He Worked For North American Aviation And Joined Rand In 1952. There He Managed The Department Where The Engineer Paul Baran Did Early Work On Packet-Switching, A Technology That Was The Basis For The Internet. Mr. Ware, Who Worked At The Rand Corporation For More Than 55 Years, Was One Of The First People To Gain A Prescient View Of The Effect Computers Were Having On Society, In Their Impact On Automation And The Threats They Posed To Privacy. "The Computer Will Touch Men Everywhere And In Every Way, Almost On A Minute-To-Minute Basis," He Wrote In 1966. "Every Man Will Communicate Through A Computer, Whatever He Does. It Will Change And Reshape His Life, Modify His Career And Force Him To Accept A Life Of Continuous Change." While At Rand, Mr. Ware Led An Early Pentagon Study Exploring Computer Security. Afterward He Was Asked By The Secretary Of Commerce, To Lead A Committee To Address "Personal Privacy" In The Computer Era. Some Of Its Policy Recommendations Were Adopted In The Privacy Act Of 1974. Among Other Problems, The Committee Dealt With The Increasing Reliance On "Universal Identifiers" Like Social Security Numbers. "Willis Ware Laid The Foundation For Modern Privacy Law. His Insight Was That In The Computer Age, Organizations That Collected Private Information Would Have To Take Responsibility, And Individuals Who Gave Up Personal Information Would Need To Get Rights.".

Maria Goeppert Mayer (June 28, 1906 - February 20, 1972) Was A German-Born American Theoretical Physicist, And Nobel Laureate In Physics For Proposing The Nuclear Shell Model Of The Atomic Nucleus. She Was The Second Female Nobel Laureate In Physics, After Marie Curie. A Graduate Of The University Of Göttingen, Goeppert Mayer Wrote Her Doctorate On The Theory Of Possible Two-Photon Absorption By Atoms. At The Time, The Chances Of Experimentally Verifying Her Thesis Seemed Remote, But The Development Of The Laser Permitted This. Today, The Unit For The Two-Photon Absorption Cross Section Is Named The Goeppert Mayer (Gm) Unit. Goeppert Mayer Married Joseph Edward Mayer, And Moved To The United States, Where He Was An Associate Professor At Johns Hopkins University. Strict Rules Against Nepotism Prevented Johns Hopkins University From Taking Her On As A Faculty Member, But She Was Given A Job As An Assistant And Published A Landmark Paper On Double Beta Decay In 1935. In 1937, She Moved To Columbia University, Where She Took An Unpaid Position. During World War Ii, She Worked For The Manhattan Project At Columbia On Isotope Separation, And With Edward Teller At The Los Alamos Laboratory On The Development Of The Teller's "Super" Bomb. After The War, Goeppert Mayer Became A Voluntary Associate Professor Of Physics At The University Of Chicago (Where Teller And Her Husband Worked) And A Senior Physicist At The Nearby Argonne National Laboratory. She Developed A Mathematical Model For The Structure Of Nuclear Shells, For Which She Was Awarded The Nobel Prize In Physics In 1963, Which She Shared With J. Hans D. Jensen And Eugene Wigner. In 1960, She Was Appointed Full Professor Of Physics At The University Of California At San Diego. Ware'S Participation In A Classified World War Ii Project To Identify Friendly Aircraft Led The Mathematician John Von Neumann To Recruit Him To Help Develop A Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton, N.J., In 1946.

SIGNED BY LANCE HOFFMAN TO WILLIS WARE: "To Willis/ Who gave me my best review/ in 1970 for a paper and who,/ as he and I canter along the/ computer security highway, becomes/ even more incisive and (as always)/ one of the most fun people in/ the field./ All the best,/ La…nce/ 10/2/90." In 2010, Ware, then 90 years old, described the part he played in the 1960s and 1970s in the early discussions of computers, information security and personal privacy: "ARPA asked RAND to have me chair a study to address (what we now call) computer security. The study was briefed to the Defense Science Board and laid the foundation for subsequent USAF and ARPA studies and research papers. Consequently I was asked by the Secretary of HEW to chair a committee to address 'personal privacy'--personal information stored in a computer-based system. The work of that Secretary's Special Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems and its policy recommendations funneled into the Privacy Act of 1974, which created the seven-member Privacy Protection Study Commission to which I was appointed by President Ford (and served as vice chairman). . . . We functioned for two years and three months and produced a final report and five individually bound appendices. Thus, I can legitimately claim to have been the driving force for two of the most important policy issues relevant to (what we now call) information systems: information security and personal privacy" (IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, July-September 2011, p. 72).
