...Holden Chapel, the smallest and one of the oldest buildings in the Yard, Professor F. C. Packard Jr. '20, head of the department of public speaking, has introduced a diminutive machine that will enable each student not only to hear and criticize the voices of his fellow class-mates, but his own as well...
...telegraphone has been in commercial use for several years. Dartmouth has already employed it to a limited extent in the work of improving young men's speaking voices. Professor Packard, who was director of dramatics last year at Dartmouth, and thus had an opportunity to see the machine in operation, will, however, probably be the first instructor to further elaborate its use by installing a loudspeaker attachment. This will, of course, prove more convenient and efficient than the ear-phones previously relied upon. And the experimentation which Professor Packard intends to carry on during the second half year, may well...
...audible does not destroy it. Once anyone has spoken into the transmitter a permanent record is set down which may be preserved literally forever. Moreover, the wire may be cut and repaired like moving picture film, with no danger to the machine over which it is revolved. For Professor Packard's work, however, the most interesting tricks which the telegraphone can accomplish are its powers of endless reproduction and at the same time, when required, lack of permanence. Thus a student steps to the transmitter, speaks a few words and then only does the real work begin. Professor Packard reverses...
...loud-speaker apparatus Professor intends not only to allow his students to hear their own defects of speech, but to study the methods of projecting the voice for purposes of broadcasting. The experiments at the telephonic transmitter in Holden Chapel will without much doubt procedure before the microphone. Professor Packard's background seems peculiarly fitted for such valuable experimentation. For a time he acted with Professor George P. Baker, '87 in the 47 Workshop Company, then while still serving as Professor I. L. Winter's assistant in the department of public speaking, he produced a number of amateur plays...
...journal one day. "Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the House," said he, "some one has introduced a bill, and has signed my name to it, which, if enacted into law, would allow the Secretary of the Navy to buy for every officer of the Navy, a Cadillac, a Packard, or a Rolls-Royce automobile. Everyone knows that such an idea is foreign to that which would be expressed by me. I do not know who did this. . . ." The House laughed. If ever the Navy had a harsh critic, he is James V. McClintic. It was voted to correct the record...
