| General Information: |
| Members of the CAS participated in several symposia on musical acoustics at the annual meetings, 1971 |
| and 1975 particularly. The 1971 meeting was organized by A.H. Benade and included a demonstration |
| concert of the Octet instruments. The 1975 meeting was part of "Science for the Naked Eye" set up by |
| Rolf Sinclair (NSF), which included a demonstration of the Octet by William Berman, Chris and Michael |
| Finckel and Diana Gannett Mizelle with CMH talking. Walter Sullivan attended and gave us a fine write |
| up in the New York Times which would have resulted in a NOVA TV show except that we did not |
| have a full octet performance group available. CMH was elected to the Nominating Committee for |
| Physics B, and made a Fellow of the AAAS. |
