Tukey (1965) on the importance of computing in the education of statisticians:

Most of the technical tools of the future statistician will bear the stamp of computer manufacture, and will be used in a computer. We will be remiss in our duty to our students if we do not see that they learn to use the computer more easily, flexibly, and thoroughly than we liver [sic] have; we will be remiss in our duties to ourselves if we do not try to improve and broaden our own uses.
