Description
Documentary
The film shows a lot of the aspects of The Ohio State University as it functions in a time of crisis. Beginning with Professor Richard Goldthwaite, showing him in his south polar studies; John Krause with the radio telescope; a scene in biomedical engineering where they developed the mechanical heart valve. Also, the Cat Scan equipment; longevity and nutritional studies with white mice, a germ free lab; and veterinarian medicine center; an early computer center; studies of traffic engineering; Dr. Horton teaching Zoology 400 by television. Dr. Boucher developing new processes in dentistry; the audio visual listening center in Derby Hall; concert pianist performing at WOSU TV; broadcasting activities; Professor Dale seminar for graduate students and the importance of literacy; international studies; shots of the university farm; OSU agriculture specialists in India; development of new foods from fungus and other sources; water resources center. City planning; students working on a plan of Columbus, Ohio; shots of the campus and student life on campus; a group of Professors at the Faculty Club; and discussion; campus activities including bed races during spring week. President Fawcett looking out the window of his office makes some observations followed again by campus views of students reading and studying. We go to the honors lounge where other students are shown in close-ups and they're comments are voice over. The end of the film is a reprise on some of the problems which were introduced in the opening of the film and the fadeout is over a shot of Orton Hall.
