"I see great advantage to the
use ot television in large class
es," Dr. Neuberger said. He

at the record
From its founding in 1925, Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft has been essentially an en
gineering company. Its primary objective
has been the design and development of
new aircraft engines of superior perform
ance and dependability. The guiding
policy has always been, amply, that
technical excellence must be the para
mount objective, attained through con
stant effort to improve upon the best.
As early as 1928 Pratt & Whitney Air
craft’s Wasp engines powered Navy sea
planes which brought back world records
in altitude, range and speed from compe
titions in Switzerland, Germany and
France. The following year, ‘ Wasp
powered Army Air Corps airplanes were
flying combat formations at 30,0G0 feet.
All through the 1930 s the power, range
and fuel economy of the Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft Wasp and Hornet engines
were developed, and the engines seasoned
Broadly diversified engineering careers at Pratt & Whitney Aircraft offer truly fine
opportunity for young men equipped to deal with challenging assignments. You will

The program, in addition to the
panel discussion, .included talks
and demonstrations presented on
the television system in Sparks.
The “talk-back” system was used
to enable members of the aud
ience to ask questions of the lec
turer.
- A new piece of equipment
which projects the picture im
age on a wall movie screen also
was used.
Two members of the instruc
tional research program spoke
during the televised portion of
the program. Dr. Clarence R. Car
penter, head of the Department
of Psychology, described the
background of the University’s
research project. A major purpose
of the project, he said, is to ac
commodate the increasing enroll
ment without decreasing the ef
fectiveness of instruction. -
Leslie P. Greenhill, associate
with experience. Wiley Post, the Lind
berghs, Martin and Osa Johnson, Amelia
Earhart, Admiral Byrd and Roscoe Tur- _
ner were among the host of famous pilots
who made aviation history with Wasp
power.
* During World War 11, 50 percent of
the aircraft powerplants for the Amer
ican air arms were engineered by Pratt
& Whitney Aircraft. Three of the five key
fighter airplanes, a host of medium and
heavy bombers, and 98 percent of all the
military transports used Pratt & Whit
ney Aircraft engines.
The postwar development of the J-57
gained the company a position of engi
neering leadership in the jet field. It
powered the first jet aircraft to fly faster
than sound in level flight, and is now
used in six supersonic fighters, three
bombers and the first two American com
mercial jet transports.
director of the research program,
spoke on how television is being
used in classrooms.-
Four demonstrations were pre
sented during the televised pro
gram. Dr. Mather gave a sample
lecture from his Sociology 1
course, showing how films and il
lustrations could be incorporated
into a lecture by television.
Dr. Nelson, who teaches Ac
counting 1 by TV. demonstrated
how columns of figures are
shown on television, enabling
the professor to present a clear
er picture of the subject.
An experiment showing temp
erature changes of land and water
was performed by Dr. Neuberger
whose Meteorology 300 course is
presented by television.
Dr. Reede gave a sample Eco
nomics 2 lecture with illustra
tions.
