The Cleveland Convention

The thirty-third Annual Convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was held at the Hollenden Hotel, Cleveland, Ohio, June 27–30, 1916. The total number of members and guests in attendance was 607, including 108 ladies. The local registration from Cleveland numbered 288, and the remainder of those in attendance represented twenty-two states, while Canada, Panama, England, and India each had representatives. The Cleveland Convention will be remembered as one of the most successful of the Institute´s annual conventions, both from technical and social standpoints, and a large part of the credit for this success is due to the excellent work of the Convention Committee under the chairmanship of Mr. E. H. Martindale, which not only made highly satisfactory plans for the comfort and entertainment of the members, but was actively employed during the convention in carrying out these plans. The weather conditions were also ideal during the week, being cool and fair.
