Abstract
THE EDISON MEDAL was founded in 1904 by associates and friends of Thomas A. Edison who desired to commemorate the achievements of a quarter of a century in the art of electric lighting, and in particular the prominent part played in those achievements by Mr. Edison himself. As the most effective means of accomplishing this object, they established a fund, the proceeds of which are to be used to prepare a gold medal and certificate to be awarded each year to a resident of the United States or Canada for meritorious achievement in electrical science, electrical engineering, or the electrical arts.
