Demonstrates a composer's vocabulary, beginning with "two-letter words" and proceeding to three-, four-, five-, and six-letter words. Illustrates each of these with musical selections. Describes the "personality" of musical words and indicates how a composer uses that personality in communicating with listeners. (University of Rochester) Film.
In this program, criminologist Joseph D. Lohman sketches the relationship of prison administration to the inmate community and the ways in which the inmates’ group influences the administration. An inmate's views about who really controls the operation of a prison are expressed during an on-location interview. Burke and Lohman explore the prisoner’s role, both legitimate and otherwise, in prison management, and discuss the redirection of this community activity into legitimate channels which a professional staff can provide. Lohman notes the need for constructive outlets for individual and group expression, without which inmate energies are directed into hostile and anti-social channels.
Except for his service career in the Navy during and immediately after World War II, Dr. Revelle has spent his entire career with the University of California’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He has been the director of the Institution since 1951. He received his Ph. D from the university in 1936. He is the author or co-author of numerous scientific articles and belongs to many scientific societies. Dr. Revelle here discusses what may be learned from the sea. He shows that the ocean is deep enough to hold seven grand canyons, and he explains that most scientists feel that sea monsters are actually giant eels, 90 to 100 feet long, too large to be places into nets. He also explains how the ocean affects weather. He is interviewed by Dr. Julian Goldsmith of the University of Chicago.

Special Guest: DR. RICHARD S. CALDECOTT –Dr. Caldecott is a geneticist with the cereal crops brand of the United States Department of Agriculture and an associate professor in the Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics at the University of Minnesota.There is an area of scientific endeavor that will serve to illustrate one important method in which atomic energy is being utilized by agriculture scientist. This area envelopes the science of genetics. Dr. Warren F. Witzig and Dr. Caldecott discuss this science and the use of atomic energy in this area to provide basic information of life and life processes for the use of the applied agriculturalist. Many examples of how radioactivity has helped the agriculturalist are demonstrated in this program.
The causes of radioactivity, how it is detected, measured and controlled are noted by Dr. Warren F. Witzig and guest Edward Sanford. They also demonstrate the instability of energy and discuss the different types of radiation. Sanford explains the meaning of alpha, beta and gamma rays and explores the uses and dangers of radioactivity.
