Ivan E. Sutherland is widely known for his pioneering
contributions. His 1963 MIT PhD thesis, Sketchpad, opened

on a head-mounted display anticipated today's {virtual
reality} by 25 years. He co-founded Evans and Sutherland,
which manufactures the most advanced computer image generators
now in use. As head of Computer Science Department of
Caltech he helped make integrated circuit design an
acceptable field of academic study. Dr. Sutherland is on the
