100 Years Ago May 12, 1922 President W.A. Brandenburg of the Normal announced last night that the installation of a radio sending and receiving set of the most advanced type at the Normal within the next few months is being strongly considered, and that if plans materialize favorably, the local institution will boast radio equipment ranking with the best in the country. Mr. Brandenburg said the cost will probably range between $5,000 and $15,000.
