And that is why the center of civilization moved slowly away from, its Sumarian origin; as it has indeed hcen moving almost ever since." C. D. Darlingto7i We, as human beings, are the sum total of all those who have gone before us. This is applicable not only in the field of genetics but in education, religion, occupation, nationality, and even in politics. To deny our heritage is to deny ourselves. To know and understand our past, to study and appreciate our progenitors, to value and love those misty ancestors whose names we may never know but whose conli-ibu- tions are essential to the very skein of life, and to pass on to future generations our knowledge of this personal history is a challenge and an opportunity. Attempting to unravel the often twisted threads which make up the webwork structure of our past is an invigorating and rewarding experience. We are especially fortunate because our forefathers had the daring and initiative to venture forth into new lands; first to Ireland from England, and then to land in the New World in both America and Canada.

    MILESTONES IN NETWORK RADIO: SUGGESTIONS FOR A BASIC COLLECTION OF NETWORK RADIO PROGRAMS ThesIs Ior the Degree of M. A. MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY John Edward Carl 196-4 THESIS IINHIWIIUHIWNIIIHIIWI 31293 00686 1334 i LIBRARY Michigan State University 6-» 3:34 1 W15 AUé 2 71999 ABSTRACT MILESTONES IN NETWORK RADIO: SUGGESTIONS FOR A BASIC COLLECTION OF NETWORK RADIO PROGRAMS by John Edward Carl To listen again to the programs of network radio would be enlightening for several reasons: the programs would provide a new view of network history, they would offer a direct study of various examples of sound and dramatic techniques used on radio, they would offer a fresh understanding of radio's popular art, they would reflect something of the life and times of that society which heard the broadcasts, and, most of all, the radio programs would vividly illustrate what the sound of network radio was really like. And in order that people may have the opportunity to hear again the broadcasts of network radio, recordings of these broad- casts should be gathered and held in a sound library. This sound library, then, would be a central location where one could go to check-out certain broadcasts for study. However: before a library can begin to accumulate its docu- ments, an evaluation process should be undertaken to decide which broadcasts were the important contributions to radio's history. It is, then, the purpose of this study to compile a list of significant broadcasts for such a sound library. More specifically, the purpose of this project is to both cate- gorically list the important programs, voices, and events that we re a part of the four major networks, and to give a brief explanation John Edward Carl of why each was important.
