A few nights ago, I happened upon an old-time radio program that sounded like something made pre-1950s but I may be off a bit on that. Regardless, it was an announcer who was asking all kinds of science, math, arts etc. questions of a group of smart kids of varying ages. It was simply stunning to hear these kids talk their way through complex mathematical questions, recite Shakespeare at length, know history at a level few would today and go into all kinds of details on scientific matters. The kids all sounded like they were between say 6 and 12 years old. I'd like to know what the program was so that I could shoot it off to my kids to let them know what the 'expectations and standards' were years ago.....

I’ve heard of MIT.

It’s the Georgia Tech of the North isn’t it?
