First-years, arriving bright-eyed and bushy-tailed a week before everyone else arrives to campus in September, are clueless.

Farnsworth, Pem and one of the investors, George Everson, watched the receiver. They saw the straight-line image and then, as Cliff turned the slide 90[degrees], they saw it move--which is to say they saw the first all-electronic television picture ever transmitted...
