| The Department of Computer Science was founded by people who
had a vision. This vision was how computer science would fit
into the unique spirit of Yale University, an institution oriented
to an unusual degree around undergraduate education and close
interdepartmental collaboration. The Department has always had
close ties to mathematics and engineering, but has increasingly
experienced collaborations with other disciplines important
to Yale, including psychology, linguistics, economics, business,
statistics, music, medicine, physics and more. It is through
these collaborations that the importance of computer science
in a broader sense is best appreciated. |

The Yale Computer Science Department is deeply saddened
by the untimely death of Robert Dunne on
August 16th, who joined the Department faculty in 1999.
He was well-known for his lecture, Computers and the Law,
which was among the University's most heavily enrolled courses.
In 2006, he was awarded the William Clyde DeVane Medal,
the highest honor conferred for undergraduate teaching at
Yale. He was held in high esteem by both his colleagues
and students and will be greatly missed by everyone.
