Abstract :
The tentative program arranged for the AIEE summer technical meeting to be held in St. Louis, Mo., June 26–30, 1944, will be the largest technical program in the history of the Institute. This makes the meeting a fitting occasion to commemorate three important anniversaries in the electrical field — the 60th anniversary of the AIEE, the 100th anniversary of the Morse telegraph, and the 40th anniversary of the International Electrical Congress, which met in St. Louis in 1904. The program is comprised of approximately 89 technical papers and 31 conference papers to be presented in 28 technical sessions and conferences, in almost as many specialized fields of activity. The 28 sessions and conferences are in addition to the annual meeting, which will take place Monday morning, June 26; the conference of officers, delegates, and members, which will be held Monday and Tuesday afternoons; and the general session on Wednesday morning. Meeting headquarters will be in the Hotel Jefferson, which has good facilities with some air-conditioned meeting rooms.
