Abstract :
First I wish to say a word of my appreciation of the great honor of being elected president of the Institute. The office is one of great distinction because it has been adorned by so many of the great names of our profession and also because the AIEE today is a great and very vital institution. Its greatness and vitality come not from size alone but are the result of the activities of thousands of members who express their interest in Institute affairs by carrying out its extensive program.
