60 Appendix 3 (Continued) Thoreau, Emerson, Alcott and the other New England Renaissance leaders,*.. The University administration was impressed by the grant-in-aid. . At the conclusion of the project, George W. Sloan, Jr., who produced and directed series, was appointed instructor in radio and faculty supervisor of stu¬ dents on station WBUR, largely on the basis of his work on the grant-in-aid* Associate professor Sidney A. Dimond, who wrote the series, has been invited to speak to several professional organizations on the subject....*’ Iowa State College — 41 ..Furthermore, when the job was completed we were able to offer it to the college administration as evidence of our ability to ex¬ pand into new areas of production, granted the necessary additional financial aid... .we succeeded in retaining the man who carried Cleary’s routine duties while he (Cleary) was producing ‘Contour Country,’ and assigning Cleary to full-time production in extra program areas. In short, one direct effect of the grant-in-aid to WOI was the creation of a new and permanent staff posi¬ tion.” The George Washingt on University — "The grant-in-aid... .enabled the Uni¬ versity to begin a program of training in radio news reporting, which, in the future, may lead to a fully-developed curriculum in radio-television commun¬ ications.*,* On the basis of the knowledge we gained in producing 'Wash¬ ington Background’ the University has established a new course, to be given jointly by the Speech and Journalism Departments in the spring, for which we plan to have a top Washington newsman as instructor, A good deal of the students* time in the course will be devoted to producing taped broadcasts similar to those made for 'Washington Background.’ ” University of Illinois (Another TV grant made at the time NAEB handled these grants) — "For the first time we were able to devote a major effort to a proj¬ ect (series entitled ‘Feeding a Nation*) which we considered to be of sub¬ stantial importance. We think we accomplished some measure of success.... The College of Agriculture, which worked with us on this series, has consid¬ erable interest in television. They, too, found this project most rewarding. Without the help made possible by the grant-in-aid, the College of Agricul¬ ture could not have spent so much time on the series — and without that help, the series would have been impossible. A large number of their staff now h?; n keener appreciation of television and its possibilities. The problem of W' ing with academic departments is certain to be one of the chief concerns f a University-operated station. Where should the responsibilities be divided? Where does the subject matter and and the presentation begin? We do not have the answers, but we have some good ideas. These ideas are principally the result of a long and detailed period of working with tho College ox Agriculture. ”
