DEPORTS of the different activities at the Institute´s recent successful summer convention at Ithaca, N. Y., June 24–28, have been prepared and made available to the membership. The general features of the convention, including the annual business meeting, presentation of the Lamme Medal, entertainment, and sports included many items of interest (pages 891–5). The annual conference of officers, delegates, and members brought forth many illuminating discussions on affairs of importance to the Institute (pages 898–901). An innovation this year was the holding of informal round table discussions, called “technical conferences,” in addition to the regular technical sessions; these conferences made possible a wide dissemination of information (pages 901“7).
