Harvard Radio School Turns Students Into War Commanders
Harvard Cambridge April 15. Incie Sam ships out weekly 50 to 100 wireless operators from the Harvard plant turned to the government as a radio finishing school. It is the nation’s only such institution with about 5,000 total students spanning Memorial Hall to Ward Square. Radio apprentices march through the campus like a bluejackets regiment and dine in Memorial Hall, though pay days thin the hall’s crowds. Operators study Morse and radiotelegraph codes for sixteen weeks, aiming to 22 words a minute for sea service, with a speed of 32 words per minute among some teachers. The program draws youths from every state, many under draft age, eager for naval service and ready to work aboard merchant ships and navy vessels.
