 \section*{The MIT thesis template}
 
-\LaTeX\ has changed tremendously since the original MIT thesis template was written in the 1980s. \LaTeX\ 2.09 was replaced by \LaTeX2e\ in the 1994. Many packages and fonts were developed to accompany the original platform, particularly after 2000; and major updates to the \LaTeX\ kernel began in 2018.   Further, the MIT Libraries changed the required format several times, especially as electronic thesis submission became the norm. The original template served MIT well, but by the early 2020's, it was substantially out of date.
