Abstract :
A report of the experiences with Section technical committees obtained by the Institute´s Portland, Ore., Section during the past year, presented at the conference of officers, delegates, and members during the Institute´s summer convention, Ithaca, N. Y., June 24–28, 1935, by John Bankus, chairman of the Portland Section for 1935–36, and secretary-treasurer for 1934–35. The matter of organizing technical committees in both Sections and Districts was discussed at considerable length at the Institute´s 1934 summer convention at Hot to obtain men who are not only competent but who are also greatly interested in the Institute and technical committee activities. The technical committee chairmen were made responsible for the programs and the proper functioning of their respective committees. However, notices of meetings were sent out by the Section secretary.
