An even finer teacher/demonstrator was at the U of Wis in that time period names Aaron J. Ihde. And he and Odell Taliaferro, the chem tech, who was absolutely vital to this team, did some cool stuff without all the yelling. Does anyone know if there were any films of those demonstrations? I was a teaching assistant under Ihde. Tally and I were both members of the same NAACP chapter and used the same music practice facilities on campus. He was a fine jazz pianist.

I enjoyed seeing the younger Hubert Alyea in that video, and , yes, I cringed at some of the things he did. He was still using that same flour deflagration demonstration device 30 years later when as a staff member I saw his presentation on "Lucky Accidents, Great Discoveries, and the Prepared Mind" during the Reunion activities at Princeton around 1983. Although edited choppily, this can also have some useful, and cringeworthy, moments. See it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSw7cHfxbu8
For what it may be worth, I was told that Prof. Alyea was one of only two professors in the history of Princeton, at least up to the time I left in 1984, to be relieved of all research expectations in favor of teaching, because he was such a fine teacher.

All,
There have been great discussions on this list-serve about chemical demonstrations. So here is a video that harks back to a bygone era.
