The MARK I perceptron was an experimental machine which could automatically identify optical patterns. It was developed at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory under the sponsorship of the Information Systems Branch of the Office of Naval Research and the Rome Air Development Center. Frank Rosenblatt headed the development team at Cornell. The MARK I was an electromechanical device built to demonstrate the feasibility of the basic perceptron concept. Perceptrons had a significant role in artificial i...

In 1925, as part of the work of the University Plan Commission, the architectural firm of York and Sawyer proposed a new group of engineering buildings to replace East Sibley, Lincoln, and Franklin Halls. In 1937, Shreve, Lamb and Harmon again designed a cluster of new Engineering buildings for that site. In 1941, however, the university administration and trustees decided to relocate the Engineering College to its current location south of Barnes Hall and Sage College. Olin Hall incorporated so...
