Abstract :
FRANK A. Cowan was born in Escatawpa, Ala., and just 35 years ago completed one phase of his education while still a resident of the South. For this achievement he received, in 1919, the degree of bachelor of science in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Working out of Atlanta for 3 years, in the long lines department of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, introduced him to the broad field of electrical communications. An evident showing of interest in that field and of technical ability in this period contributed to an opportunity to transfer to the engineering department of long lines in New York, N. Y., in 1922.
