Abstract:

The citation for the award to Robert W. Young of Honorary Fellowship in the Acoustical Society of America, and the accompanying encomium, mention Bob's contributions to the development of national and international standards. The contributions were many, sustained, and important. Over a span of five decades since the 1940s, his contributions to acoustical standards cover a range of acoustical instruments; measurement and evaluation of sound fields in rooms, outdoors, and in the ocean; and acoustical terminology. The quality of acoustical standards produced through the Acoustical Society of America, the International Electrotechnical Commission, and the International Organization for Standardization has been enhanced through the efforts of Robert Young.
