SoGiENTIFIC MEN HONOR WORK
of MOREHHOUSE PROFESSORS

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 2O:- The NOS
sleiiity OF improving the acoustics
OF unsatisfactory auditoriums bv
regulating their humidity was the in
terestlng suggestion embodied in a
paper read before the Indiana Acad-
envy OF Silence at it's annual meeting
last week, by Prof. Halson V. Eagle
son, of Morehouse College, thi, city
Entitled "The Effect of Hmiditv on
Inc Regeneration Period of Room"
Prof. Eagleson's paper aroused great
interest at the meeting of the Acad-
envy, which was attended by more
than four hundred scientists from
over the State. 1t will be published
in the proceedings of the body.
The study comprehended several
hundred delicate experiments with
the reverberation periods of rooms
under varying condition of humidity.
These revealed the fact that the de-
gree of moisture in a room so affects
its period of reverberation as to make
decided changes in it's acoustic prop
critics.
The work was done under the ad-
vice of DR.. Arthur L. Foley, head of
the physics department of Indiana
University, from which, Prof. Eagle
son graduated in 1926 with the A. B.
degree, and in which he is continuin~
postgraduate work looking to the
masters degree. DR.. Foley expressed
great interest in the experiments, it
is understood, and has offered his
cooperation in carrying them to more
exact and unmistakable conclusions.
Since 1927 Prof. Eagleson has been
a teacher of physics and mathema-
tics in Morehouse College.
