Abstract :
UNDOUBTEDLY the “farthest south” of the general meetings of the Institute was the Southern District meeting held in Miami, Fla., November 28–30, 1938. Headquarters were at the Miami Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables, where the facilities that were provided comfortably accommodated all technical sessions and major entertainment features. This was the third meeting to be held by the Southern District since District meetings were inaugurated in 1924. Average attendance at the five sessions, including the student sessions was in excess of 100. Other attendance details may be noted in the accompanying tabulations.
