Abstract :
I ESTEEM it no small honor to be invited to give this memorial lecture; and it is a great personal pleasure for me to do what little I can to keep green the memory of the great scientist, humanist, and engineer in whose honor these lectures have been founded. It was my great privilege to be quite well acquainted with Doctor Steinmetz and, as you know, to be acquainted with him at all was to admire him unreservedly.
