Abstract :
Despite his handicaps, Steinmetz not only made the most of his native ability, but at the same time felt warm and active sympathy for his fellow men. His life and achievements are a genuine tribute to the conception and tradition of open-minded sympathy and tolerance of ability and ideas in America, no matter in what form or shape they may come. Upon recommendation of the A.I.E.E. committee on education, full text of the Tenth Steinmetz Memorial Lecture delivered by Doctor Swope under the auspices of the Steinmetz Memorial Foundation before the Institute´s Schenectady, N. Y., Section, April 20, 1936, is presented herewith.
