UNIVERSITY FINDS "MIKES” INCREASE CLASS EFFICIENCY
Officials at the Georgetown University School of Law, Washington, D. C. , are studying the effects that a newly installed public address system may have on classroom efficiency.
Earlier experiments with the "necklace" microphones worn by professors during lectures proved so satisfactory, the Rev. Francis E. Lucey, S.J. Regent of the school, explained that the system has been installed permanently in the three larg¬ est halls.
"No doubt", he said, "other departments of the univer¬ sity may adopt a similar public address system to suit their needs. "
From the viewpoint of both professors and students at the law school, Dr. Lucey claimed, the system already has served to facilitate class work. It not only has made lecturing easier on the vocal cords of professors, who sometimes come to class after a strenuous court trial, but it also makes it possible for 175 or 200 students in a crowded hall to hear distinctly every word that is uttered. As a result, he said, the attention of students is less apt to stray.
The microphone worn by the professor is shaped like a small box, about 2 inches square and is attached around the neck by a long cord that makes is possible for him to move about the platform or use the blackboard while lecturing. Instead of the usual megaphoneshaped amplifiers, a new and inconspicuous type has been attached to the rear and two side walls.
