John Backus Left photo: from [ ]. The caption reads: "John Backus, leader of the group which developed FORTRAN (1954-57), was an early SSEC programmer." After serving in the US Army in World War II, Backus received his BS in mathematics from Columbia's School of General Studies in 1949 (and, I believe, he also earned a Columbia Masters, year unknown). He worked at IBM Watson Lab at Columbia University from 1950 to 1952, and went on to lead IBM's Programming Research Group, and was honored as an IBM Fellow in 1963. Besides FORTRAN, Backus also developed BNF (Backus Normal Form or Backus Naur Form, an application of Noam Chomsky 's generative grammar to formal computer languages), the language that is used to formally describe computer languages, and was principal author of the Algol 60 Revised Report. He retired in 1991. ACM Turing award citation: For profound, influential, and lasting contributions to the design of practical high-level programming systems, notably through his work on FORTRAN, and for seminal publication of formal procedures for the specification of programming languages.

Famous Tall Cedar John Clayton Backus "Father of Electricity" John Clayton Backus was born March 14, 1866 in Smethport, the son of Major John Couch Backus, a prominent lawyer of that period, and Mary Almyra Backus. He was from a family of ten children, eight of whom reached maturity. He was married December 11, 1899 to Lucy Blake of Eldred and had resided here all his life, where he was the owner of the Backus Novelty Works, and was prominent in all civic affairs. His untiring and finally successful efforts in leading the campaign to secure electricity for Smethport, are important annals in the history of the town. He has been termed the "Father of Electricity" in Smethport, a name justly deserved. He was an inventor of note; the Backus Pin Setter, the Backus Checkhook, and the Backus Home Golf Trainer, and many other inventions are all products of his clever mind and hands. He was a member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, the I. O. O. F. Lodge of Smethport, the Elks of Bradford, the Masonic Blue Lodge of Olean, the Consistory of Coudersport, Zem Zem Temple of Erie, Phoenix Chapter O. E. S., Tall Cedars of Lebanon

John Backus was employed by IBM as a programmer tor the Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator (SSEC) in 1950, after receiving his Master's degree in mathematics from Columbia University. Later he headed the development of the Speedcoding interpretive system for the IBM 701. He also took part in the design of the IBM 704 and was the original advocate for its built-in floating point operations. From early 1954 until late 1958 he was manager of the programming research group (later department) in IBM during its development of FORTRAN. While Backus was a member of the committees that designed ALGOL 58 and ALGOL 60, he joined IBM Research. In the course of efforts to define ALGOL 58 more precisely, he employed the syntax description technique known as BNF; this technique was improved and used by Naur to describe the syntax of ALGOL 60 in the ALGOL Report. After his work on ALGOL, Backus spent a number of years working on the mathematics of families of sets. For the last eight years he has been developing a functional style of programming and its associated algebra of programs. In 1963 Backus was appointed an IBM Fellow. He received the W. W. McDowell Award of the IEEE in 1967, the National Medal of Science of 1975, and the Turing Award of the ACM in 1977. He is a member of the National Academies of Science and of Engineering.
