Here is the transcript, for those who do not feel like viewing a three hour video ;) https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102658053 https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10265805... An excerpt: Feigenbaum: One of the things worth observing -- it’s off the track but as long as we’re talking about history -- is that our current generation, and generations of students, don’t even know the history of their own field. They’re constantly reinventing things, or thoughtlessly disregarding things. We’re not just talking about history going back in time hundreds of years. We’re talking about history going back a dozen years, or two-dozen years. Knuth: Yeah, I know. It’s such a common failing. I would say that’s my major disappointment with my teaching career. I was not able to get this across to any of my students this love for that kind of scholarship, reading source material. I was a complete failure at passing this on to the people that I worked with the most closely. I don’t know what I should’ve done. When I came to Stanford from Caltech, I had been researching Pascal. I couldn’t find much about Pascal’s work in the Caltech library. At Stanford, I found two shelves devoted to it. I was really impressed by that. Then I came to the Stanford engineering library, and everything was in storage if it was more than five years old. It was a basket case at that time, in the 60’s.
