Purdue Extension students 1950

Black and white photograph. A class of young white men, watch intently as an older, balding white man stands up front teaching. The teacher has a thin pointer in his hand and is using it to point at a machine that is open and filled with cables. Another older man, wearing a suit and tie, is sitting with the students, smiling broadly. On the table, next to the open machine is another machine that is labelled RCA Dynamic Demonstrator 2. The background looks somewhat industrial.
Winning Entry!

Wait until you see … the Dynamic Demonstrator III. - Jill Dempsey

Professor: "Now young lad, it is quite an optimistic idea, but I don't reckon even in 100 years will Purdue and IU be able to unify into one school!".

Student on the right: "I predict a different answer in 19 years...".

The only way you'll get extra credit in my class is if you can figure out how to get light to come out of the end of this thing!

One of the "students" is actually a CIA recruiter - looking for the brightest kids to bring into the "company". Can you pick him out?

Don't worry, your grandkids won't need to learn this. They'll just 'Google" it.
