Abstract :
It is to me especially fitting that today the name of Charles Concordia should be placed beside that of Benjamin Garver Lamme. Both men have evidenced in their careers an outstanding capacity for technical leadership, for pioneering applications, and for inspiring teaching. Both have exercised brilliant ability to recognize and formulate basic principles cutting across the classical disciplines. But above all, both men had the ability to develop from these principles practical solutions to electrical design and development problems. And their solutions have stood the test of the technological revolution of our times.
