Institute activities: Vancouver section is host to its Fourth Pacific Coast convention

The 27th AIEE Pacific Coast convention was held September 9–11 at the Hotel Vancouver in Vancouver, British Columbia. This was the fourth such meeting (1913, 1922, 1932, 1942) to be sponsored by the Vancouver Section since the program of approximately annual Pacific Coast conventions was initiated in 1910 under the sponsorship of the San Francisco Section. The recent meeting in Vancouver was the last national convention, as such, scheduled to be held by the Institute for the duration of the current war emergency, as the District and National technical meetings now being scheduled for future months will be devoted primarily to the discussion and interchange of information concerning technical developments and applications of especial significance in the war effort.
