Coming from a small high school with 29 classmates, I wondered if I “belonged” at M.I.T. My fraternity brothers really helped me out with some tutoring during my freshman year [not to mention the parties]. Prof. Dan Kemp, who joined the Course V faculty in 1964, inspired me to major in organic chemistry which I have enjoyed for the rest of my career. His mentorship was invaluable and the most significant experience at the Institute. It’s hard to imagine, but we had a “tuition riot” in 1964 when the tuition was raised to $ 1700/semester ! The total cost of my M.I.T.education [all in] was $ 16,000. The best memories are certainly around the intense learning atmosphere and the unbelieveble quality of the Pat Confalone & Family - Christmas 2016 professors.

  • AMAR G. BOSE 1929–2013 Elected in 1987
    Memorial Tributes Volume 19 Copyright © National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Memorial Tributes Volume 19 AMAR G. BOSE 1929–2013 Elected in 1987 “For innovation and leadership in the science and engineering of sound reproduction, and for excellence in engineering education.” BY ALAN V. OPPENHEIM AMAR GOPAL BOSE, chairman of the board and technical director of Bose Corporation, and professor emeritus of electri- cal engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology, died on July 12, 2013, at the age of 83. He was born on November 2, 1929, in Philadelphia. Dr. Bose received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 1952 and his ScD degree in 1956, all in electrical engineer- ing from MIT. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1987. Throughout his career he received many awards and recognitions as an educator, inventor, researcher, and entrepreneur. He holds numerous patents in the fields of acoustics, electronics, nonlinear systems, and communication theory. In 1956, as a member of the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and the Research Laboratory of Electronics, Dr. Bose began a research program in physical acoustics and psychoacoustics. Much of his early interest in these areas stemmed in part from his passion for classical music and his disappointment in available sound reproduction systems. His research led to the formation of Bose Corporation in 1964. The associated patents provided the foundation for the company’s consumer products—home entertainment systems; automo- tive sound systems; noise reduction headsets and headphones 19 Copyright © National Academy of Sciences.
