CONTINENTAL CLASSROOM NBC TELEVISION NETWORK 6:30-7:00 AM MON.-FRI. EST DR. WHITE OFFERS VALEDICTORY TO ATOMIC AGE PHYSICS STUDENTS In a valedictory to students of his Atomic Age Physics course on the NBC-TV Network’s "Continental Classroom," Dr. Harvey E. White will express his hope "that we have in some small way been helpful in promoting and improving science education in every comer of this great country." Dr. White's final lecture was taped in NBC’s New York studios last week for presentation Friday, June 5 (coast-to-coast , 6:30 a.m. local time). He will return to his post as professor of physics at the University of California at Berkeley this Summer. "This has been an enterprise in which an entire network like NBC, a great philanthropic foundation like the Fund for the Advancement of Education, a group of the country’s largest industrial concerns, and a national organization of American colleges have all come together with one enterprise for the common good," Dr. White says. "Nowhere, and I repeat, nowhere else in the world could this have happened than here in these United States." Dr. White’s two-semester course will be repeated by television tape recordings and kinescopes from 6 to 6:30 a.m. local time starting Sept. 28 on the NBC-TV Network. This will be in addition to the 160lesson course in Modern Chemistry the network will telecast coast-tocoast in color starting Sept. 28, from 6:30 to 7 a.m. local time Monday through Friday. Both courses will be presented in cooperation with the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education. o NBC-New York, 6/1/59 _ PRESS DEPARTMENT, NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY, 30 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA, NEW YORK 20, NEW YORK _
