Abstract: Abstract The Department of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon University—then Carnegie Institute of Technology—was created in 1966. Prior to that time, Carnegie Tech’s Department of Mathematics served as the training ground for an outstanding mix of young statistical talent, such as undergraduate and masters degree students Frederick Mosteller (1930s); David L. Wallace (1940s); Mel Hinich (1950s); and Henry Block, Stephen Lagakos, Gary Simon, and Miron Straf (1960s). Among the statistically oriented instructors who began their distinguished careers in the Mathematics Department were Abraham Charnes, Carlton Lemke, Lester E. Dubins, Donald P. Gaver, Jr., and M. M. Rao.
