For those of us too young: When exactly did terminals become common
on university campuses?  Please be more specific than "the 1980s".

By January 1st, 1979, 87.395% of all university access methods to
computers were interactive visual terminals rather than TTYs or other.
(With a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.003% based on the polled
sample size.)

A coordinated mass conversion, to visual terminals, of all remaining
teletype and other non-visual terminals attached to legacy time sharing
systems, at all university campuses around the world, took place on
September 13, 1983, now remembered as "T day".

Engineering students in New York celebrated by suspending a chain of
seven key punch machines from the Brooklyn Bridge.

Depends on the country and the uni. Even depends on the department.

I think I saw it in 1983, but there were departments that had terminals 
earlier.

Maybe what counts is the department that teaches programming to students 
buys the terminals, which is an important investment.

I'm asking for personal recollections.  When did it happen for you?
I've been wondering for some time, and this seems like the perfect
opportunity to ask, given that people have reminisced about their
punch card days.

And yes, I expect computer science got terminals earlier than
engineering.

That's one data point, thanks.

Well in 1969 it was flexowriters and an Elliot computer and paper tape.

It was so bad I  gave up on computers till around 1980
At some point a friend with more money than sense started building an 
S100 computer. 6800 based I think.
Think he had a serial terminal

But what then happened was PC's and computers with keyboards and 
monitors and no one cared about terminals much. Unless you were running 
UNIX and a multiuser setup.
I remember 32 Wyse 50s on a sco unix 386 box with a custom serial card.


That was a popular corporate setup.

That vaguely gybes with my memory. I THINK that serial terminals for 
micros existed prior to 1980, but have no idea about mainframes etc.

VT100 was a 1978 released serial terminal

It was essentially the benchmark

Later terminals were cheaper, but the VT100 was the first I can recall

However...

"DEC's first video terminal was the VT05 (1970), succeeded by the VT50 
(1974), and soon upgraded to the VT52 (1975). The VT52 featured a text 
display with 80 columns and 24 rows, bidirectional scrolling, and a 
custom control protocol that allowed the cursor to be moved about the 
screen. "

I think that the Vt52 was about the first time a 'glass teletype' 
actually became more cost effective than a teletype

Somewhat famously the arrival of some ADM-3A terminals prompted
Bill Joy to extend his ex(1) editor with a visual mode, i.e., vi(1).
That was circa 1977.

I attended university from 1968 to 1971.  In the fall of 1968
they converted from an IBM 7044 to a 360/67.  The 360 had a few
2260s, but I wouldn't call them common and access was fairly
restricted.  There was a number of hard-copy terminals, many
of them dialup: IBM 2741, Teletype 33, 35, and even a few 37s.
But billing (in computer centre funny money, issued to students at
the start of a term) was given a fudge factor of 1.4 for terminal
access.  Most of us contented ourselves with either using the
RJE terminal (originally staffed with an operator who collected
a ticket for each run, later self-serve IIRC), or dropping our
cards into a tray and coming back the next day to pick up the
results (which incurred only a 0.4 fudge factor, which was great
for conserving CC$ that were running low by the end of the term).

The 360/67 was the start of something new for IBM -- timesharing. The 
360/30 maxxed out at 64K and became a satellite processor for some of the 
later 360 machines. I wasn't too interested but a friend was and spoke of 
the future with awe. He eventually dropped out and moved to Boston where

I think it was something even stranger, maybe SNOBOL. I'll see if she 
remembers the next time I talk to her. She may have repressed the entire 
experience. I wouldn't say SUNY was a diploma mill but it had over 10,000 
students even back then and was industrial scale education.

Speaking of space limitations in the 360 architecture:

Early in my career, 1985 IIRC, I was charged with running
full-chip switch-mode logic similation of the first 960 processor
and got to use an EDAC machine all by myself.  Normal IBM
machines at the time were limited to a 24-bit address space for a
given virtual machine under VM/CMS.  IBM had built a very small
handful of machines that supported a larger address space.  IBM
owed Intel some money at that time.  To pay that debt, IBM loaned
Intel an EDAC machine.  It was used for full-chip switch-mode
logic simulation of the 386.

Immediately after the 386 taped out and was finished with the
machine, I was tasked with running the full-chip logic similation
for the 960 chip.  Largely due to several rounds of microcode bug
fixes, our tapeout slipped beyond the date IBM had agreed to loan
Intel the machine.  For the remaining time we needed to use it, I
was told the rent was $150k/month.  I was the only user.  That
rent was well over an order of magnitude larger than my salary.
No pressure...

This machine didn't run an IBM operating system; it ran MTS, the
Michigan Terminal System.  It was far better at timesharing than
any IBM operating system.

One course when I was there hit you with a different language
every two weeks: Algol 60, Algol 68, Algol W, pl360 (the
misbegotten bastard child of Algol and assembly language),
LISP, UMIST, SNOBOL4...  Fortunately I dropped out before
I had to take that one.  I did a term project in assembly
language - my prof kept getting a pained expression as he
repeatedly asked me why I would do such a thing.

I left for a programming job in the Real World, writing
assembly language and RPG for a card-based system with
16K of memory.

There were only PCs when I was there, but my school also had access
to time sharing with the mainframes of the Michigan Terminal System,
or MTS:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michigan_Terminal_System>

On an early morning (about 2 am) job run, I literally brought the
mainframe to its knees while simultaneously burning up the entire
annual department time-sharing budget, via an extensive numerical
simulation involving 500x500 matrix calculations.

From that experience I learned a valuable computer science lesson
that is not found in the standard textbooks: the most powerful
digital computers are DAMNED SLOW AND IMPOTENT.

I ended up doing the simulation on a desktop PC using almost
4 WEEKS of runtime.

My current desktop is probably a lot more powerful than those
mainframes but most tasks of interest are still largely untouchable.

I wouldn't call that a computer science lesson; many CS weenies
assume that computers are infinitely powerful, and start whining when
confronted with systems in the real world.  I had a confrontation
with a guy like that when trying to determine why a COBOL program
was running like molasses through a pinhole in January.  One reason
was that this genius had declared all subscripts as COMP-3 (packed
decimal) rather than binary.  Just changing those declarations alone
knocked 30% off the execution time.  I wish I could have had more
time to work on that program; I bet I could have really sped it up.
I calculated that the nested PERFORM VARYING loop that cleared a
3-dimensional array would have taken 25 minutes of the estimated
50-hour run time, due to a combination of those decimal subscripts
and subroutine calling overhead.  (The CPU did about 130 KIPS.)

Optimization can only go so far.  That's why supercomputers are being
continually developed.

But yes, software optimization is quite important and very much can be
said about it, but most users will not ever need to be aware.  Modern
hardware can handle most routine computing tasks very efficiently.
It is only fringe activities, such as video encoding or scientific
calculations, that require massive hardware power.

One hardware problem that needs to be fixed above all else is memory
speed.  Currently, all RAM is just another storage layer.  The CPU
does not directly process RAM data, but only data that has been transferred
from RAM to cache memory -- and only first order cache at that.  This
ridiculous situation can seriously degrade performance if the programmer
is not continually vigilant.

I would claim that this "cache problem" is the most critical of all. 
The company that could produce cheap RAM memory on par with cache speeds
would make $trillions overnight.

You can run this under SDL Hercules. I have a D6 system. Unfortunately,
there's not much installed in the way of software, it doesn't have any
languages I really know, and it couldn't do networking last I checked
(the SDL Hercules project w/MTS - the real machine could or so I
heard). Still, it's fun and gives me a reason to dust off the x3270.

It has this thing where, after a day or two, it wants to dump its stats
to "tape" and you have to do a dance with it, only it does not want to
take its tape, like a kid does not want to eat lima beans.

If you look at all the vintage docs collected at Bitsavers, out of
(currently) about 660GB in total, over 40% is from DEC. Number 2 is
IBM, but the DEC collection is bigger by nearly 3:1.

Number 3 is CDC, at about a quarter of the size of the IBM collection.

I was forced by the system to take first year of engineering at the 
university in my province. All engineering had the same first year. Once 
we (if!) we passed, we could actually choose what college to continue 
in. So, when I arrived to Madrid for my second year (I think that was in 
the 83), a friend told me that the computer building that was shared by 
all in the campus had switched from cards to terminals, and that I had 
just missed it.

suffer to get their stack of cards punched and executed. Could take days.

(I think that the school in which he did the first year had some 
computer thing in the Maths course, but I don't remember well what he 
told me)

Strong words. And absurd time scales. They certainly don't match my
observations. All of us did our punch cards based coding often just
during the pauses between the lectures; the basic code maybe in an
hour, the fixes - usually just one or two iterations needed - done
during the "cum tempore" 10 minutes. But most programming in those
early beginner courses also wasn't too voluminous, to be fair.

What certainly was painful was the (for obvious reasons) inherent
non-existence of a <Del> or <Backspace> key on the punch devices.
(They had a useful "Copy" key (<Dup>?), though.)[*]

BTW, a "nightmare" I considered the keyboards that came with the
VT100 series of terminals! (My fingers still ache if I only think
back of these days!) Luckily these times passed fast.

Janis, now back at his Model-M keyboard clone

[*] IIRC, they looked like (or may even have been) these devices:

(For those who couldn't imagine what we dinosaurs are talking about.) :-)
Still amazing seeing images of these devices again after all those
many decades.

I don't remember if my friend punched his own code, or had it punched. 
Would depend on how many punch machines they had for lowly students.

I remember his saying that he had to submit his stack of cards to a 
clerk, then given a paper slip to collect the results another day.
