Abstract :
ICANNOT OVEREMPHASIZE my profound appreciation of the great honor which the AIEE has conferred on me by awarding me the Edison Medal. Reviewing the names of the 37 previous medalists and finding on the list such men as Thomson, Westinghouse, Brush, Bell, Pupin, and Millikan, and others like them, it is with wonder and gratitude that I take a place as a minor luminary in this galaxy of first magnitude stars
