Do you have Bose speakers? Do you know someone with Bose headphones? Aren’t they superior quality? Amar Bose, a student of electrical engineering and master of sound technology, developed the Bose audio systems for you to better enjoy music and movies.
He passed away today.
In 2011, Dr. Bose donated a majority of his company’s stock to MIT as a kind of endowment. The university doesn’t participate in the management of the company, it can’t sell the shares, and it must use the dividends to advance MIT’s educational mission. Not a bad way to make sure that the knowledge behind the sound keeps moving forward.
Rest in Peace, Dr. Bose.
