A key factor in the expansion was the Dartmouth Plan, under which Dartmouth went to year-round operation to accommodate a larger student body without having to admit fewer men. And a key factor in the Dartmouth Plan was Project FIND (Forecasting Institutional Needs at Dartmouth), for which Kreider chaired the coordinating committee, that created an information management information system on the

Initially, Kreider continued research and writing in recursive function theory, working with Robert W. Ritchie. But he increasingly turned his attention to mathematical pedagogy, writing textbooks in recursive function theory,
