It was started by the late Arthur Edes, who also founded the broadcasting 
program at Emerson College.  Arthur was asked to train announcers during 
WW2, when experienced announcers were hard to find, and under the auspices 
of WEEI, he began a school to train them.  I believe this started circa 
1941-- I have the announcement in Variety-- and it probably lasted 
throughout the 40s and into the early 50s at least.
