Abstract :
Revision of the existing regulations for grading student papers presented for the District Branch paper prizes was recommended at the annual meeting of the North Central District (6) executive committee, held at Omaha, Nebr., December 2, 1939. With the present method of grading undergraduate papers in the same manner as papers for National prizes, the heavy weighting given the factors, “Value in Its Field” and “Value to Electrical Engineering” was regarded by the committee as tending to discourage student competition. The committee voted unanimously that the matter be taken up with the national secretary.
