A SCHEDULE of events which has been coördinated to provide a good balance between both business and social activities has been arranged for the winter convention of the A.I.E.E. to be held during the 4 days of January 23–26, 1934, in the Engineering Societies Building, 33 West 39th Street, New York, N. Y. Eleven technical sessions to be held during the mornings and afternoons of the first 3 days will present some of the most recent developments in electrical engineering. In the evenings a smoker, the Edison Medal presentation, a demonstration of transmission and reproduction of music, and the dinner-dance will be held. Special entertainment also is being arranged by the ladies entertainment committee, and will include a luncheon-bridge. Friday, the last day of the convention, will be devoted entirely to inspection trips; in addition, arrangements have been made to visit points of interest at other times. Altogether, the convention, which begins on Tuesday and ends on Friday, will be crowded with activity. In addition to this program, there will be a meeting of the board of directors at Institute headquarters on Monday, January 22, at 2:15 p.m., the day preceding the opening of the convention.
