Discussion on “measuring instruments” at Philadelphia, May 8, 1905

President Lieb: I know that if there is a spirit pervading the administration of the Institute — it has also pervaded previous administrations — it is the feeling that the Institute is not merely a body of electrical engineers living and working in New York, but that it is a national body, that it represents and has at heart the interests of electrical engineers all over the United States. I feel that the central organization is certainly alive to its obligations and to its duties to the local organizations, as representing a very much larger constituency than merely the local membership of New York. Perhaps this feeling of greater interest which the members removed from New York should have will be aroused when our engineering building shall have been completed.
