Abstract :
The American Institute of Electrical Engineers serves the purpose of giving cooperative association to the professional work of electrical engineers. This is important because no professional man in this age can do constructive work for himself alone. Cooperation and interchange of knowledge with others is a necessary part of professional life. The conditions of the old time, one-man service, have passed away — probably forever. However high up a man may now go, he must cooperate cordially and loyally with his associates, and they must cooperate with him: and through the American Institute of Electrical Engineers the various men in our branch of the engineering profession have the opportunity to become acquainted with each other, to know and appreciate the work of their professional rivals and associates, and to enlarge and improve the cooperation between man and man and between groups of the profession.
