Abstract :
WASHINGTON, D.C., is the city which perhaps every citizen of the United States plans to visit. It ranks with London and Paris as one of the great capitals of the world. The 1938 AIEE summer convention to be held there June 20–24 offers an extraordinary opportunity for combining business, pleasure, sightseeing, and education amid the national shrines, in a city that is neither northern nor southern, neither eastern nor western. Here are neighbors from every state. Within short distances are the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay beaches, the mountain resorts of Virginia, and the Shenandoah Valley and its famous caves and historical spots relating to the founding of the Republic and the Civil War. Convention headquarters will be the Mayflower Hotel.
