Abstract :
The 12th Midwinter Convention last month was the first of its kind to be held outside of New York City, and doubt was expressed in some quarters as to the feasibility of changing the location of this function which had always been a pronounced sv ccess in New York. The convention in Philadelphia, however, dispelled all doubts on this score as it proved to be the largest convention in the history of the Institute, with an attendance of 1738 registered members and guests.
