Institute activities

The influence of the war, into which the United States was so suddenly plunged on December 7, 1941, was reflected in many ways at the AIEE 1942 winter convention held January 26–30 in New York, N. Y. This was the Institute´s third wartime national convention, the two previous ones having been held February 15–16, 1918, and June 26–28, 1918. Attendance was the lowest it has been since 1937, a total of 1,331 having registered. Average attendance at sessions also was somewhat lower than in previous recent years. Attendance details are given in accompanying tabulations.
