...Muffling Office Noises" is the subject of an article by D. V. Casey in the March number of "System," in which he tells of the work of Dean Wallace C. Sabine, head of the Graduate Schools of Applied Science at Harvard, and the foremost American authority on architectural acoustics. Thousands of employers are confronted with the problem of eliminating noise in their offices, for they have found that it consumes strength and attention, and diminishes the efficiency of employees. The question has been solved by Dean Sabine, who, in 1895, began a series of experiments to determine the sound-absorbing...
...keep the advantages of the open office, and yet to cut down its drawback of noise is the problem which business men and scientists have been trying to solve for several years. Consequently the results of Dean Sabine's repeated experiments have been noted by many large industries and banks over the country. In one typical instance, the general offices of a Chicago packer employing four hundred were turned from bedlam into workrooms of more than usual quiet...
Laying down the rule that "the average loudness of a sound in a room is proportional inversely to the absorbing power of the material in the room," Dean Sabine has made careful experiments to determine the absorption value of the common forms of construction used in office walls and movable partitions. He has established the fact that a square yard of felt of a given thickness will absorb a certain amount of noise, and that if there is an overplus of noise, one must simply put up a corresponding area of sound-proof blanket. He has produced a long-fibre...

At the dinners there was informal speaking both by the students and by the various leaders who had been invited.

Both dinners and the conferences have been well attended and interesting...
