Abstract :
In recognition of his services to the engineering profession as evinced by his successful seven-year fight to secure a National Hydraulic Laboratory, the Louisiana Engineering Society gave ajtestimonial dinner in New Orleans, July 21, to Senator Joseph E. Ransdell. This event was of national significance, not only because it celebrated the enactment of a very constructive piece of legislation but also because it gave the professional engineers an opportunity to recognize and pay honor to a man who had successfully secured legislation which had been supported by the engineers of the United States through American Engineering Council since 1922.
