### History

SCCS was founded in Fall 1991 by a group of Swarthmore students, who obtained an official charter
from the Budget Committee for the Spring 1992 semester. We were founded, in part, to support the
activities of students in Dana and Hallowell who had decided to create an Appletalk network by
stringing phone cable between rooms. Approximately 32 Macintoshes on 4 floors (3 in Hallowell, 1 in
Dana) were on the network, as was one heavy-duty laser printer—two years before the College
network came into being. Gobs of time were spent diagnosing the many network outages that occurred
on an almost-daily basis (usually due to cables being clamped by window frames). 30 years later,
we're no longer stringing phone cable through dorms, but we're still having fun and providing useful
facilities and services for our fellow students.

In the more than 30 years since, we've swapped buildings, upgraded our hardware, and expanded our
Staff. We're no longer stringing phone cable through dorms, but we're still having fun and providing
useful facilities and services for our fellow students. Check us out in Clothier basement!
