Center for Interactive Management Seminar: Professor Elohim's Talk

A lecture given by Professor J. L. Elohim as part of a seminar series held at the Center for Interactive Management, GMU. A total of eight seminars occurred during the school year 1987-1988.



Sent to GMU 23 Oct 23 2000. In this seminar series speakers from outside the Center were invited to present lectures. There were eight such seminar talks during the school year 1987-1988. Professor Elohim taught at the National University in Mexico City. He had given an inspiring talk at a Systems conference, and Warfield invited him to come to Fairfax to repeat the lecture and get it on videotape. Rather than get the GMU TV studio to do the filming, Warfield believed it could be done adequately by the CIM staff, but it didn't work out very well. Prof. Elohim's slides were dim and difficult to see on the tape, and he brought far more of them than he used earlier for his conference presentation. The audio was so poor that you can hardly hear Elohim's quaint small voice. Years later we visited Elohim in Mexico and I got photos of all of his drawings made for this video. I thought maybe someday to reconstitute his drawings into SOME sort of documentation of his talk. Haven't done it yet, but life is long. Right now the Elohim photos are still in storage, waiting for me to have time to scan them. I hope I can get around to it. R.w. 2/24/2007
