Abstract
Throughout his professional career, spanning nearly fifty years, Vilhelm Jordan attempted to bring the methods and disciplines of scientific research to bear on the day-to-day practice of the acoustical consultant. The development of his practice from the Danish Radio Broadcasting House to the Sydney Opera House is traced, and his skill at informing professional judgment with scientific inquiry is exemplified. In discussing the application of the Schroeder integrated impulse theorem to early decay time measurements, a proposal is made for the revival of statistical description of random noise decays as a possible concert hall criterion. This paper formed the text of a memorial address given at the Institute of Acoustics meeting held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in September, 1982.
