"When the schools reopen in the Fall, the textbook (Applied Imagination) will be in use on about 300 campuses. Three editions, totaling 30,000 copies have been printed… One of the major successes of Mr. Osborn’s educational revolution is the decision of the Air Force to use the Osborn text in its ROTC."

 

"General Electric, which has had a course in creative engineering for 16 years, now uses the Osborn textbook and recently stated: ‘Results have been excellent. After graduation, the men who have attended the course continue to develop new processes and patentable ideas at an average rate almost three times that of nongraduates.’"
