Abstract :
Portland is famous as a host city to vacationers in the Pacific Northwest, and as an important center of commerce and industry; it is ideally situated in the center of vast hydroelectric installations and natural resources. Members of the Institute and their families. should long remember the 1951 Pacific General Meeting to be held August 20–23. Headquarters for the meeting will be the Multnomah Hotel, near the center of the city, where arrangements have been made for a wide variety of technical sessions, social events, and entertainment. Reservations have been made for sufficient space for technical sessions and social events. A block of rooms has been reserved in the Multnomah and overflow reservations have been arranged for in adjacent hotels.
