Abstract :
The Board of Directors of the Institute has appointed a Building Fund Committee and will soon inaugurate a campaign to raise, among the members of the Institute, their well-wishers, and corporate friends, a sum of money "to be used in connection with the establishment of a suitable headquarters building, whether alo\´ne or in association with other enginee\´ring societies, as the opportunity presents." Further particulars will appear in subsequent issues of the PROCEEDINGS, and otherwise be brought to the attention of the membership. The growth of membership, scope, and influence of the Institute warrants, such a step at this time. From small beginnings, ours has become one of the major international engineering societies. It is in keeping with our present activities and attainments and our prospective needs and usefulness to the radio-and-electronic industries that we should be permanently housed. A brief history of Institute quarters, culminating in the present crowded conditions, is provided.
