Abstract :
With the largest summer-convention technical program in the history of the Institute, the 1942 AIEE summer convention will be held in Chicago, Ill., June 22–26. Convention headquarters will be in the Drake Hotel. Beginning with the annual meeting on Monday morning, sessions will be held both mornings and afternoons through to Friday afternoon. In addition to the annual meeting and the conference of officers, delegates, and members, the program has been enlarged to include a total of 20 sessions and conferences scheduled during the mornings and afternoons. Approximately 60 technical papers are scheduled, besides addresses and informal conference presentations. Several of the sessions and many of the papers are more or less directly related to the war effort. The complete business and technical program appears on pages 312–13. The social program will take place entirely during the evenings, except for special entertainment for the women guests arranged by the women´s entertainment committee. All trips are of an educational nature and the sports events have been limited to the annual competition for the Mershon cup and the Lee trophy.
