Abstract :
The Forty-First Annual Convention of our Institute is now a matter of history and can be recorded as a highly successful affair from every standpoint and marks a further step of progress toward the type of convention which seems particularly suited to the present needs of Institute work. The better coordinated opinion of the Section delegates from all over the country indicates a clear understanding of the Institute´s activities and aspirations, and one of the most important actions at the Delegates´ Conference was the resolution endorsing regional meetings under the procedure as prescribed by the Board, after two years´ trial with complete success, proving that the Institute is making no mistake in its plan for bringing out in a better and broader way the work of the whole membership. The report from nearly all delegates of cooperative local meetings with members of other societies shows that the Institute is trying to do its part in putting to use for the general good its technical experience and judgment.
