Abstract :
“The Industrial Renaissance of the South,” was the theme of a 3-day meeting of the Southern District, held at Birmingham, Ala., November 3–5, 1948. In addition to the opening session, five technical sessions were held with many papers exemplifying the theme of the meeting. Two banquets were held on Wednesday and Thursday evenings with appropriate addresses, and inspection trips were arranged on Thursday and Friday afternoons to important research projects and engineering installations. An active time was provided for the women in the form of luncheons, a shopping tour, a tour of the city, a fashion show, and a visit to the largest hat factory in the South. The meeting was attended by a total of 334 members, students, and guests.
