Acoustical Society Meeting

The Pennsylvania State College played host for the thirty‐ninth meeting of the Acoustical Society of America last June 22, 23, and 24. Sessions covering a wide variety of subjects (including such matters as noise, hearing, speech, transducers and recording, the medical and biological effects of sound, the propagation of sound, etc.) were held in the college's Osmond Laboratory. A total of about ninety papers was given, of which something less than ten percent were invited and the remainder were contributed. Three of the meeting's ten sessions are reviewed below.
