No, that was already late in the game. FORTRAN came out in 1957, I think
COBOL came in 1959. Those two languages dominated CS curriculum in business
and mathematics areas for many years.
Although PL/I came out in 1963, FORTRAN and COBOL were already entrenched
in production and education so not many schools taught it although
compilers were certainly available from IBM.
SNOBOL was a niche language (and one I happen to like alot) but was also
not widely taught. Interesting language but not really great for teaching
or production, so not much of a player.
I don't know about the rest of your list but aside from your timing on
Pascal (may Wirth burn in hell) I think most of the rest of the list is
off.
