Sister Mary Kenneth Keller, born in Ohio in 1914, entered the Sisters of Charity in 1932; professed her vows in 1940; studied at DePaul University, received a B.S. in Mathematics, & an M.S. in Mathematics & Physics. Before this, very little of her life is known; even her birth year is not sure. In the 1960s, Sister Keller studied at the University of Wisconsin, at Purdue, the University of Michigan, & Dartmouth College. Dartmouth relaxed the rule barring women from its computer center, which allowed Sister Keller to help develop the computer language BASIC. (Note: Before BASIC, only mathematicians & scientists could write custom software; BASIC allowed anyone who could learn the language to do so, thus making computer use accessible to a much larger swath of the population.)
Sister Keller’s dissertation, "Inductive Inference on Computer Generated Patterns." was written in CDC FORTRAN 63. In 1965, she became the first American woman to earn a Ph.D. in Computer Science. Afterward, Sister Keller founded the Computer Science Department at Clarke College in Iowa, which she directed for 20 years.
She was passionate about providing access & information to everyone, not just computer scientists. She envisioned a world in which computers made people smarter & computers learned to think on their own. Keller said, “For the first time, we can now mechanically simulate the cognitive process. We can make studies in artificial intelligence. Beyond that, this mechanism [the computer] can be used to assist humans in learning. As we are going to have more mature students in greater numbers as time goes on, this type of teaching will probably be increasingly important.”
