In June of this year Hunt Hall at Harvard University, the building in which W. C. Sabine began his studies of architectural acoustics, was demolished to make way for a new dormitory building. During its life of 78 years the main lecture room in Hunt Hall underwent several changes, due at first to Professor Sabine's recommendations and later to other influences. It was not until 1972, however, that a significant improvement was achieved in the speech transmission properties of the room. This paper reviews the changes made in the lecture room and presents measured acoustical data from its last two configurations. These data are compared with available information from Sabine's papers. |
