A message from the president

IN RESPONSE to President Parker´s most gracious introduction of the new President at the AIEE annual meeting in San Francisco after the announcement of the result of the election of new officers, I stated that I found myself at a loss for words which would adequately express my appreciation of the honor which has been bestowed upon me. The purpose of this “open letter,” in addition to extending greetings to the membership, is to repeat that statement here for the benefit of those members of the Institute who were not present on that occasion, to thank all of you for your approval of the selection of the nominating committee, and to express the hope that your confidence will prove justified.
