You can now learn the business at numerous universities
rYOU can't quite take a college degree in radio yet, of course. Even though radio courses occupy places in the curriculums of most leading American universities today, you won't emerge with a Doctor of Radio degree, and the only Bachelors of the Microphone are the unmarried crooners. But starting as the illegitimate offspring of the entertainment industry, radio has, in its comparatively short existence, achieved the status of a serious profession, with over half a hundred universities across the country giving serious and intensive courses in the new art.
At Ohio State, Salem, West Virginia U., Iowa State, Indiana, Southwestern, Drake, U. of Michigan, Columbia U., New York U., and many other universities across the country, you may enroll in radio courses or workshop groups to learn the various inside workings of broadcasting.
I say you may enroll ; as a matter of fact, in some of these schools, particularly in the summer workshop groups, it isn't as simple as merely registering for a course in Bee Keeping or English Lit.

This year, the Radio Workshop is under the direction of Douglas Coulter, Assistant Program Director of the Columbia Broadcasting System. The rest of the faculty are men of similar practical background in this recently reorganized group. Certainly, at the Workshop's home in the shadow of Washington Square Arch, New York, there's little to suggest the stiff, scholastic attitude. A full-fledged professor bustles by, not in cap and gown, but with rolledup shirt sleeves, tousled hair and a coil of wire under his arm. New lines are being installed, to "pipe" talks and programs from the studios into the classrooms downstairs.
The studios are excellently outfitted with the latest in equipment. There are two of them, with the glassed-in control room between, like
