North Eastern district proves: Wartime value of technical conclave

The outstanding success of the North Eastern District meeting held April 29–May 1, 1942, at the Van Curler Hotel in Schenectady, N. Y., should serve emphatically to set at rest the questions that have been raised as to the advisability of continuing AIEE meetings and conventions during prevailing wartime conditions. All technical and general sessions were notably well attended, and the total verified registration of 481 is the highest in more than ten years. An analysis of attendance and comparison with previous years are given in the accompanying tabulations. Attendance at technical sessions, including parallel sessions, ranged from 65 to 170, averaged nearly 100.
