In April 1966 Strachey took up an appointment as 'leader of the group for research into the non-numerical uses of computers which is being set up in the Computing Laboratory under a grant from the Science Research Council'. The appointment carried the status of Reader; Strachey became an ad hominem Professor in 1971, his group being known as Programming Research Group (P.R.G.), see Section B. The Chair of Computation is now statutory, Strachey's successor (C.A.R. Hoare) being the first incumbent; the Chair carries with it a Professorial Fellowship at Wolfson College, where Strachey was a Fellow from 1966. |
