The first time I heard "data science" was in 2007 while reading a proposal that my adviser had passed along, outlining an academic program similar to what we think of as data
science.

31. Tukey 1975
In 1975, while at Princeton, Tufte was asked to teach a
statistics course to a group of journalists who were visiting
the school to study economics. He developed a set of
readings and lectures on statistical graphics, which he
further developed in joint seminars he subsequently taught
with renowned statistician John Tukey (a pioneer in the field
of information design). These course materials became the
foundation for his first book on information design, The
Visual Display of Quantitative Information
