Abstract :
To provide an effective opportunity for an increase in knowledge, understanding, and general interest in the various phases of the work of the several joint organizations created by the national societies to serve the engineering profession, a special meeting was held in the Engineers´ Club in New York, N. Y., on Monday evening, May 20, 1935. Those present at this dinner and general discussion meeting included a large proportion of the officers and directors of the national societies of civil, mining and metallurgical, mechanical, and electrical engineers, together with members of the governing bodies of their several jointly sponsored functional organizations, and a few special guests. A total of 89 persons were in attendance. Of these, 27 were members of the A.I.E.E., their names being given in the news report of the meeting published in Electrical Engineering for June 1935, pages 676–7.
