SARNOFF HAILS LARGE GI COLLEGE REGISTRATION; ZEST TO LEARN
Brig. Gen. David Sarnoff, President of the Radio Corpora¬ tion of America, said in an address to the graduating class of Bethany College, in West Virginia, last Sunday that it is an en¬ couraging sign for the future of the United States that so many young men and young women have returned from the armed services to attend college.
General Sarnoff, who received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree at the graduation ceremonies, continued:
"These students from the armed services bring with them a new zest for learning. Their travels, their experiences on the battlefields, on the seas and in the air, have impressed them with the great importance of education in world affairs. They know that from science spring social and political implications. They have observed that invention does not find its place in the world within the walls of laboratories. Not until the work of the scientists is brought into the field to test its social aspects can the real value of discovery be established.
"We have an outstanding example in radio, for it was dur¬ ing the First World V/ar that the radiophone began to talk. Suddenly it was realized that this device was not merely a new voice for use in war but a voice for service to people everywhere regardless of race or creed. The great industry of broadcasting became a new outlet for the liberal arts. Speech and music found new avenues of appeal and expression. Here was a new medium of communication a new instrument of culture. Wisely the educators of America took up the microphone so that those who listened might learn.
"Similarly, out of the Second World War, television has emerged greatly improved by wartime research and development. Now, science offers the liberal arts a new extension in communication that appeals to both ear and eye. Television intensifies the res¬ ponsibility of the educator, the theologian and the broadcaster. "
