One of the few bitter faculty clashes in the Institute's history was a fight over whether to retain the engineers brought in by Hungarian Mathematician John von Neumann to build a huge digital computer he had designed. The professors not only voted out the "hardware" men-but the computer as well. Less painfully, Oppenheimer in 1950 quietly phased out a school of economists who turned out to be more interested in advising Government and industry than in scholarly...
