Closed circuit television (CCTV) was first installed in the Lab School during spring semester of 1962. Closed circuit television first appeared in college classrooms on October 13, 1964. Two faculty members involved in educational television included Dr. Frank Jamison, director of the Colorado State College television project, and Dr. Harold Bowman, director of the Instructional Materials Center.
