Infinite History Chapter I

As part of MIT's sesquicentennial celebration in 2011, the Infinite History project team captured the first-person recollections of more than one hundred people who have shaped—or been shaped by—MIT. These individuals have made extraordinary contributions to their fields and to MIT and they include Institute leadership, faculty, alumni, staff, and friends.
