Abstract
Professor R. B. Newman’s 4.43 course at MIT followed the scholarly legacy of W. C. Sabine, V. O. Knudsen, and C. P. Boner, but featured irreverent observations, succinct admonitions, case histories of BBN projects, and field trips (which stressed importance of sensory observations to understand principles of physics). In the late 1960s, the presenter, a former student of Newman, developed teaching aids at Tulane University which evolved into architectural acoustics, now in print for its 41st year. In the first 7 years of Newman Award Fund, the number of participating schools grew due to face-to-face communication with faculty and school administrators. The presenter and W. J. Cavanaugh facilitated the initial growth primarily at Clemson University (6 medalists), University of Florida (6), Rhode Island School of Design (5), and Oklahoma State University (4). Examples will be cited to show how Newman Award enhanced status of acoustics educators in designer-dominated academic cultures.
