Abstract :
In the course of the conference of Section delegates held during the Boston Convention last June, a resolution was passed recommending to the Board of Directors that a sum be set aside each year to purchase, for presentation to the outgoing president, a suitable testimonial which could be retained as an expression of the appreciation on the part of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers of his services to the Institute. The resolution came before the Board of Directors at a special meeting held during the convention, and as a result of this recommendation the Board authorized the appointment of a committee to consider and report on this question. President Dunn, with the concurrence of President-elect Mershon, appointed Messrs. W. S. Rugg, chairman, Severn D. Sprong, and W. G. Carlton, members of this special committee.
