The 1950s witnessed the growth of television as an entertainment medium. But not everything was westerns, police dramas and situation comedies. A few pioneers were venturing into educational TV, and Dr Frank Baxter of the University of Southern California was one of them.

Frank Baxter and the University of Southern California

Francis Condie Baxter was born on May 18, 1896 on Newbold, New Jersey. Son of a salesman, one of his first jobs was to hand glasses of water to parched opera patrons—some sources say the singers themselves—at Philadelphia’s Hammerstein Opera House. His college education was somewhat interrupted by America’s entry into World War I..

In 1918 Baxter served in the Army Medical Corps and escaped unscathed, save for the time when a case of salmon landed on his foot. He once recalled with typical humor that “it gives me a picturesque limp on rainy days”
