  • Oral History Interview with Sam Wyly
    An Interview with SAM WYLY OH 374 Conducted by David Allison on 6 December 2002 Smithsonian National Museum of American History Washington, D.C. Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Technology University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright 2004, Charles Babbage Institute Sam Wyly Interview 6 December 2002 Abstract Wyly begins by recounting his childhood, and education prior to going to work for IBM’s Service Bureau Corporation, and then joining Honeywell as an area sales manager. He discusses how he left Honeywell to form University Computer Corporation (UCC), a firm that sold computer time, but transitioned into a software services business. Wyly explains his growing focus on computing and telecommunications, his formation of Datran, and his unsuccessful attempt to acquire Western Union. Much of the interview focuses on ongoing developments at UCC, the eventual sale of this firm to Computer Associates, his formation of Sterling Software, its acquisition of Informatics, the sale of Sterling, and his ideas on the future of information technology. Throughout Wyly’s discussion of UCC and Sterling, he elucidates upon his leadership philosophy, and the strategic, technical, operational, and financial management of these firms. This oral history was sponsored by the Software History Center in conjunction with the Center's ADAPSO reunion (3 May 2002). Preface As part of its preservation activities, the Software History Center (SHC) worked with Dr. David Allison of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History and Dr. Jeffrey Yost of the Charles Babbage Institute to plan and conduct a number of oral history interviews of early software company founders and other key industry contributors.

    RICE UNIVERSITY TWO PATHS TO COMMAND: COMMAND SYSTEMS OF THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERACY, 1861-1865 by LEONARD JOSEPH FULLENKAMP A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS APPROVED, THESIS COMMITTEE: Frank E7 Vandiver, Professor of History" Chairman -Lnpi A (PTJXJULAXK. Ira D. Gruber, Professor of History S.w, HigginbotMu# Professor of History HOUSTON, TEXAS MAY 1979 ABSTRACT TWO PATHS TO COMMAND: COMMAND SYSTEMS OF THE UNION AND THE CONFEDERACY, 1861-1865 by Leonard Joseph Fullenkamp. A parallel look at the command systems of the Union and the Con¬ federacy as they evolved during the Civil War in part explains why the war was fought the way it was and why it lasted four years. Both na¬ tions began the war with national command systems which were il1- equipped to control the huge armies which eventually were formed. Ul¬ timately, after numerous costly mistakes, the North was able to achieve an effective command system which contributed to the Union victory. The South was never able to develop a command system which provided for the efficient utilization of its forces. At the beginning of the Civil War Abraham Lincoln exercised general control over the Union's armies while the details of military command remained in the hands of General-in-Chief Winfield Scott. Neither Scott nor his successor, George McClellan, were able to provide the effective leadership demanded by the President. Dissatisfied with the strategic direction of the war by his generals Lincoln assumed their duties him¬ self and for a time functioned as both the commander-in-chief and general- in-chief.

He was my ancestor; and a few years since, although not especially fitted for such a work by education or occupation, I began a Genealogy of his descendants. It has been a work demanding patience and persistence, but it has been a pleasure. The ·very many pleasant letters received from members of the family, in nearly every state and territory in the union, containing information and encouragement, I would here gratefully remember. I give in this little book the result, not that it is perfect or complete1 but it is what I have. JOHN PORTER. Of Hingham, and Salem, was at Hingham in 1635-not more than three miles distant from Richard Porter, at Weymouth. I believe they were brothers, but have no positive proof of tile fact. In the course of my researches, I have accumulated much information relating to the earlier generations of this· highly respectable family; with some accounts of later generations.
