Abstract :
A convention which made Institute history was held in Worcester, Mass., early in June. This was the first convention held by a geographical district of the Institute. Much credit must be given to the officers and sections of the district, District No. 1, for their courage in undertaking such a meeting with no precedent for guidance, and they are to be complimented also on the excellent way in which the meeting was planned and conducted. A report of the meeting is given on another page of this issue.
