...Beranek, director of the Systems Research and Electro-Acoustic Laboratories, was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Science by Cornell College, Iowa, this week, in recognition of his "contribution to the war effort...
With volunteer conscious objectors acting as guinea pigs, the electro-acoustic researchers developed a fiberglass sound-proofing for aircraft that climinated the nerve-shattering vibrations of flight...
