The Eleventh Midwinter convention

The constantly increasing importance and popularity of the Institute Midwinter Conventions in New York was emphasized by the results of the eleventh annual Midwinter Convention held in the Institute headquarters, New York, February 14–17. This convention easily surpassed all its predecessors in points of attendance, variety and character of papers presented and novelty and scope of its entertainment features. The registered attendance of members and guests totaled about 1200 and the attendance at the technical sessions was so large that it was found necessary to transfer several sessions from the fifth floor assembly rooms for which they were scheduled, to the main auditorium.
