Career of the medalist

Benjamin Garver Lamme is a great engineer. The present tense is used with intention, because, whatever one´s belief in immortality, there can be no doubt that his spirit lives with us in the bequest of his substance and the inspiration of his mind. So well expressed by the Lamme Medalist of 1938, Marion A. Savage, who said, “All engineers who have to design electrical machinery honor the name of Benjamin G. Lamme, who did so much to advance the designing art. It was my good fortune to know Mr. Lamme personally. His kindly nature, remarkable memory, and keen mind were an inspiration to a young engineer.”
