Abstract :
Fellow Members of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers — When men find themselves the recipients of honors which their associates have bestowed upon them, I am sure that the emotion is always that which I feel as I endeavor to express my appreciation for having been chosen to serve the Institute as its president for the ensuing year. That feeling is one of wishing that you might fully comprehend what is in the heart of one newly elected to the highest office of our Institute and not be misled by the utter inadequacy of words to convey thought.
