Abstract :
Presentation of the Hoover Medal for 1946 to Doctor Vannevar Bush, (F ´24) president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, was made January 30, at a general session of the AIEE winter meeting. Established in 1930 through a trust fund created by the gift of Conrad N. Lauer, the Hoover Medal is awarded periodically by a board of award composed of representatives of the national societies of civil, electrical, mechanical, and mining engineers “to a fellow engineer for distinguished public service.” The first award was made in 1930 to former President Herbert Hoover.
