Celebration of 250 years of technical schools in Prague

VICE-PRESIDENT Glenn Holcomb of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Past President M. D. Hooven of the AIEE (also president of Engineers´ Council for Professional Development and director of Engineers Joint Council) attended the celebration of 250 years of technical schools in Prague on May 27 through May 30 as guests of the Republic of Czechoslovakia. Delegates from 21 nations attended. The British, French, Indian, Austrian, West German, and American representatives were quartered at the Alcorn Hotel. The treatment was “red carpet” to say the least, every facility and every convenience being made available. It was apparent that an extraordinary effort was made to accord the British and American delegates the same degree of recognition that was accorded the Soviet representatives, who, by the way, were very affable.
