I remember " I think" using an HP calculator (Not handheld of course ) in the late 60's for a course in Statistics in Meteorology at Texas A&M University. It was a Desktop Model that I think was programable in BASIC ,but I am not sure. It had the four level stack and I think an IBM type card reader was available for it. Do you remember the model number ? I think I have run across the same or upgraded model of the same machine at Towson State University in Baltimore (In the Physics Department)and I think we had one here at U. Tennessee at Chattanooga ( Also in the Physics Department) I remember using the one at Towson State in the Mid 70's. The one here at UTC as far as I Know never worked during the time I saw it.
