Abstract :
With the South Carolina Section and the North Carolina Section collaborating as hosts, the sixth general conclave of the AIEE Southern District was held May 14–16 at the Grove Park Inn, Asheville, N. C. The dual features of the meeting were a very active student conference with representation from 15 of the 18 Student Branches in the District, and devotion of a large portion of the technical meetings program to the problems of especial interest to the industrial south. Total verified attendance was 373, in spite of last minute cancellation of nearly 50 advance registrations as the result of uncertainty over the railroad transportation situation. Registration statistics are given in accompanying tabulations.
