Institute activities: A wish for a merry christmas and a happy new year

“A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” is an old, old greeting but it is the very best wish your president can think of to send all Institute members as we approach that part of the year so interwoven with sacred American tradition. Indeed he would like to show his appreciation of the effective work all of you are doing for the Institute and our national defense program by sending every member a greeting card voicing the above message, supplemented by words of appreciation not only for that work, but also for the many things done to make his term of office so interesting and enjoyable. There are, however, so many of you (17,916) he must forego that desire and be content with the hope that every member will learn of his good intentions by reading this part of Electrical Engineering.
