Royce Flandro

Faculty & Staff, 1950s or 1960s. Royce Flandro. "Ich denke an Royce Flandro und seine Frau, die als Rentner eine Mission in Spanien erfüllt und dort einen unschätzbaren Dienst geleistet haben. Als sie nach Hause kamen, fehlte ihnen diese großartige Arbeit, und so kamen sie zur Missionsabteilung der Kirche, um zu fragen, wo sie am besten helfen könnten. Man schlug ihnen vor, doch vielleicht Ungarisch zu lernen, was sie auch taten. Ein paar Monate darauf wurden sie nach Ungarn berufen und leisteten wieder hervorragende Arbeit. Ihr nächstes Ziel ist die Mongolei." Source ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: Royce Pendleton Flandro, 1922 ~ 2018. Royce was born in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 22, 1922 to Arthur L. and Claire P. Flandro. Royce died on August 13, 2018 at age 95. He is survived by his wife, Martha Facer Proctor Flandro. He married Melba Ottosen in the Salt Lake Temple in 1949. Together they had seven children who survive him: Victoria (Kent) Chadwick, Valerie (Gerry) Rovelsky, Jolene (Lance) Wells, Kent Flandro and Mike Gilliam, Barbara (Alan) Yearsley, Renae (Mark) Folkman and Gaylynne (Tobin) von der Nuell. He was very close to his siblings and is survived by: Paul W. (Marian) Flandro, Scott (Jean/Miriam) Flandro and Mark V. (Donette) Flandro. He is preceded in death by his sister Beverly (Lloyd) Call and brother Dayle R. (Mary) Flandro. From his youth, Royce championed family life, work, and service in the church and community. In school, he played football and ran track as well as participating in opera, choir, and theater. At both East High School and University of Utah, he was in ROTC, which prepared him to serve in World War II in North Africa and Italy, earning him a Bronze Star. Royce served as a Bishop, a Counselor in several Bishoprics, and on the Stake High Council for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Education was highly valued in his life. He received his Ph.D. from Indiana University and later taught at BYU for 35 years in the areas of Indian and Career Education, Educational Psychology and School Administration. Using his vast experience, he directed programs for 2 years each at Tehran University in Iran, also in Mongolia and at Utah Technical College. Work and church service continued to highlight his later years. After Melba passed away in 1985, he married Mary Jane Viehwig. Royce and Mary Jane faithfully served LDS missions in Spain, Hungary, Mongolia, U of U Institute of Religion, and Salt Lake Family History Library. After Mary Jane’s passing, he married his long-time friend, Martha Proctor, who served an LDS mission with him to the Madrid Spain Temple and later served in the Provo Temple. Royce favored the Kiwanis Club motto “We Build” for many reasons, but particularly because he found himself building or rebuilding programs, structures, people and procedures. He enjoyed innovation, problem solving and spearheading in a wide variety of settings and simply went where he was truly needed. Throughout his life, Royce never stopped discovering, learning and doing. This was exemplified by his love to read, family history research, swim, boat, ski, skate and rollerblade. His life is a testament to the love of the Lord, nature, people, various cultures and especially family. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, August 17, 2018 at the Edgemont 5th Ward Chapel, 350 East 2950 North, Provo, Utah. Friends may call at the Berg Mortuary of Provo, 185 East Center Street, Thursday, August 16 from 6-8 p.m. and at the church Friday from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to services. Interment will be in Eastlawn Memorial Hills. Condolences may be expressed at www.bergmortuary.com.

He received the Bachelor of Science degree (B.S.) in May of 1907. Source: Students Record of Class Standings B.Y. Academy, Book 2, Page 280. ~ ~ ~ ~ Harvey Fletcher, born September 11, 1884 - died July 23, 1981. Dr. Harvey Fletcher was born in what was then the small town of Provo, Utah on September 11, 1884. He was the son of pioneer parents, and had no early ambitions to become a scientist or scholar. His pursuit of a formal education led him to a distinguished career as a scientist, engineer, and educator, and he is recognized for his contributions to the study of acoustics, speech, medicine, music, and atomic physics. As a young man, Harvey Fletcher's ambition was to follow in his father’s footsteps building houses, and to work with his uncles in their grocery businesses. In stark contrast to the pioneering spirit of his parents, his view of the world could be summed up in the following quote: “As I looked across the Utah Valley, I thought that the tops of the mountains that I could see in any direction marked the end of the world where people live. On the other side of these was the great ocean. There were cracks in the wall that held the ocean back, so that the water from the ocean leaked through and formed the various streams that come down from the mountains.” Though his father had only four months of formal education, it is evident that Harvey himself valued school. By 1901 he had finished eighth grade, and he progressed on to the only institution in the Utah Valley that offered an education beyond this level. He enrolled in Brigham Young Academy at the high school level, and as part of the curriculum was exposed for the first time to math, physics, and chemistry. Though he had to repeat his first course in physics, achieving the highest grade in the class the second time around, he eventually excelled in his studies, graduating from BYH in 1904 and from BYU in 1907 with a B.S. In 1906 he was one of three students -- the others being Elmer Jacob and Clarence Jacob -- who climbed the mountain to help Professor Ernest Partridge, with his equipment on top of the Academy building, survey the "Y" to be created on the mountain. Fletcher spent a year teaching physics and mathematics at what had then become Brigham Young University, and he spent his summers running government surveys in the unexplored mountain country of eastern Utah and supervising the building of water mains that would supply the town of Provo. By that point, he had decided that he wanted to pursue a Ph. D. at the University of Chicago so that he could develop a successful career as a scientist. He was a little nervous about going alone to Chicago, so he persuaded Lorena Chipman, whom he had been courting, to marry him and join his adventure. Without prior admission to the university, the couple moved to Chicago and took their chances. Indeed, because much of the curriculum offered at Brigham Young was not accredited by Chicago, and because the degree that he earned only involved three years of college level courses, the university initially deemed it necessary for him to take four years of courses in order to move on to the graduate program. While this was beyond his means, Robert A. Millikan, then an assistant professor, proposed that Fletcher enroll as a special student, carrying out the first year of classes for the graduate physics program. Successful completion of these courses, plus one year of make-up work in undergraduate courses, earned him entrance into the graduate program, from which he earned the first summa cum laude degree ever granted by the University of Chicago. It was during his tenure as a student at the University of Chicago that Fletcher worked with Robert Millikan to measure the charge of an electron. This research later contributed to the field of electronics and its subsequent use in the television and radio industry. Having achieved his goals in Chicago, Fletcher returned to BYU in 1911 to teach, as he had vowed he would, where he became the only faculty member to hold a Ph.D. He was appointed chairman of the Physics Department, and he taught at his alma mater for the next five years. It was then that he accepted a position with Western Electric Company in New York, and his record of achievement blossomed to unprecedented levels. He was appointed Director of all Physical Research at Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he published 51 papers and two books, and was awarded 19 patents. Much of his research is considered to be an authoritative source, and his books, Speech and Hearing and Speech and Hearing in Communication are accepted treatises on the subject. Fletcher directed or was involved in numerous research projects, which led to the development of products and technology that are widely in use in our daily lives. His oversight of a project on hearing aids led to the development of the first such device to employ vacuum tubes. In the 1930’s, he and Wilden Munson formulated a graph that is now referred to as the Fletcher-Munson Loudness Curves, which correlates between sound intensity and loudness. They devised this by getting groups of people to judge when pure tones of two different frequencies were the same loudness, and averaged their results. Another technological advancement that Fletcher pioneered involved clarity in the transmission of sound via telephone. His research involved the perception of sound from the typical talker to the typical listener, and how small imperfections in speech sounds affect the ability of the listener to recognize what is said. It was concluded that more precise instruments that would convert sound waves into electrical form and then back into sound waves with minimal distortion were required in order to make the telephone the remarkable communications device that it is today. Harvey Fletcher was also instrumental in the promotion of stereophonic recording and transmission. In 1931 Fletcher, along with colleague Arthur C. Keller and conductor Leopold Stokowski, recorded and transmitted, from the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, monaural and binaural (stereo) sound. Fletcher and Stokowski made a presentation at Carnegie Hall in 1940 with recorded stereo music from a three-channel system using sound on film with a frequency range from 30 Hz to 15,000 kHz and a volume range of 120 decibels. A 4th track was used as a loudness playback control track. The New York Times reported. “The loudest sounds ever created crashed and echoed through venerable Carnegie Hall last night as a specially invited audience listened, spellbound, and at times not a little terrified.” Fletcher’s achievements are not restricted to ones associated with his work for Bell Laboratories. He helped found the American Acoustical Society and became its first president. He was president of the American Society for Hard of Hearing, an honorary member of the American Ontological Society, an honorary member of the Audio Engineering Society and an honorary member of the American Speech and Hearing Society. He was awarded the Louis E. Levy Medal for physical measurements of audition by the Franklin Institute in 1924. He was president of the American Physical Society which in the leading physics society in America. He was elected vice-president of the America Association for the Advancement of Science in 1937. He is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and an honorary member of Sigma Pi Sigma. He is also a member of the National Hearing Division Committee of Medical Sciences. He was given the Progress Medal Award by the American Academy of Motion Pictures in Hollywood. He acted as National Councilor for the Ohio State University Research Foundation eight years. In addition, he has received honorary degrees from Columbia University, Stevens Institute, Kenyon College, Case Institute of Technology, and the University of Utah. Harvey Fletcher continued to contribute long after his retirement from Bell Laboratories. After his retirement, he founded the Engineering program at Brigham Young University and continued to maintain an active role in a research program having to do with Acoustics well into his 80’s. Fletcher enjoyed fishing because it allowed him to spend time with his sons, all five of whom earned doctorate degrees, and attributed much of his success to his wife. He died on July 23, 1981 in Provo Utah, just weeks from his 97th birthday. Countless individuals make use of and appreciate the technology that he helped to develop during a stellar career that spanned almost seven decades. Truly, this man blossomed from his humble beginnings and aspirations, to become a character of great influence on the everyday lives of much of mankind. ~ ~ ~ ~ BYH Class of 1904.

Sarah married Albert Stephen Jones in 1897. Albert died in 1962 in Provo. Sarah died on April 11, 1966 in Orem, Utah. Both are buried in the Provo City Cemetery. ~ ~ ~ ~ News Article: On Tuesday, Feb. 2, 1960 Universe Feature Editor Chris Allred wrote about a Cougar basketball fan couple who attended Brigham Young Academy and the Church Normal School when Karl G. Maeser was teaching. Within the article, the couple talks about their time at school and how the campus has changed since the late 1800s. ~ ~ ~ ~ Memories, Memories — Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jones, Provo residents, look over their long life together. Jones went to Brigham Young Academy when there were only seven faculty members and a few dozen students in the school. “We still go to every basketball game, never miss one,” said two of Brigham Young University’s oldest living graduates and loyal fans. Albert Jones, 89, and his wife Sarah, 86, are given a season ticket to all Y games by their children each year. “There were no team sports when we went to school,” said Mr. Jones, “Only games we played were at noon-time so we are making up for what we missed.” During the Jones’ school years, the BYU was called the Brigham Young Academy and the Church Normal School. Mrs. Jones explained that “Normal” was a term describing a two-year course designed to educate teachers. After graduation the teacher was placed in one of the district schools. “We met in the Old Chamber of Commerce building where the Farmers and Merchants bank is now located,” continued Jones. “There were two rooms downstairs for classes and a hall and theater upstairs.” All plays, activities and dances were held in the upper story. “I remember Brother Karl G. Maeser well,” he reminisced. “He taught the theology classes and higher group courses.” Besides President Maeser, there were seven other faculty members, he recalled. Mr. Jones relates that the school day would begin with a song and prayer, then theology and following that the regular classes. “We didn’t have any high schools then. The Academy taught grades from the ‘Fifth Primer’ to graduation,” he said. “I remember one day when the students came to school — and no school,” Jones remarked. “During the night the old building had burned down!” In the next few years, he said, school was held in the Old Provo Tabernacle and ZCMI warehouse. “People thought it was real crazy to build the new school on 6th North and University, clear out of town.” In 1892, when the Academy, with Benjamin Cluff at the head, moved to the present site of lower campus, it was some blocks outside the town. “You have a beautiful campus on the hill, now,” put in Mrs. Jones. Her statement reminded Mr. Jones of a prophecy he had heard Brigham Young make once that the hill where upper campus is now situated would one day be the site of a temple. “I always called it Temple Hill,” he said, “Because all that is up there are temples of learning.” When questioned about his major, Jones replied, “I just took general courses like reading and writing and history. We didn’t have the same organization that you have.” He served a mission for the Church in the Tonga Islands and has presented a rare Tongan Bible and a Tongan-English dictionary to the BYU Library. He has also presented the University with a bust of Brigham Young. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were married in 1897 and have celebrated 62 anniversaries. They have four children, 13 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren, many of whom have attended BYU. The article in its original paper layout can be found here.
