Abstract
In 1925, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) selected Harris J. Ryan as the recipient of the Edison Medal. He was cited "for his contributions to the science and art of high-tension transmission of power." He had been a member of the AIEE since 1887 and had served as vice president of the Institute during 1896-1898 and as president during 1923-1924. He enjoyed an outstanding career of more than 40 years as an electrical engineering educator at Cornell University and at Stanford University
