Abstract :
Southern engineers will welcome the Institute in Birmingham on April 7–11 for the first t´me in many years and preliminary reports indicate that each visitor will have a generous share of the famed Southern hospitality. The local convention committee through its chairman, W.E. Mitchell, reports a cooperative movement throughout the whole South among Institute members for making the meeting a memorable occasion. A glance at the tentative papers shows that a very interesting and well balanced program has been prepared, which has a national aspect through having papers by authors from all parts of the country who stand in the front rank of engineers.
