"In 1951, Browne was named Chair of the Mathematics Department. She used that position to help her school pioneer some of the earliest computer use in her field. In 1960, Browne received a $60,000 grant from IBM to set up an electronic digital computer center at North Carolina College, one of the first of its kind at a minority college." (from biography/people/marjorie-lee-browne-5602) For 1951, that would have been pretty darned revolutionary even for a non-minority college.
