Abstract :
USUALLY a man is very happy to receive recognition for his accomplishments in a single field of activity. Hon. Donald A. Quarles, Deputy Secretary of Defense of the United States and Past President of the Institute, has achieved distinction in no less than four fields. His career as an engineer and engineering administrator led into his career as a high official of government. Electrically speaking, these two careers were connected in series. In parallel with his career as an engineer were two others, one in civic affairs, the other in AIEE.
