Institute activities: Seattle section is host to first postwar Pacific Coast meeting

The Pacific Coast meeting was held in Seattle, Wash., August 27–30, 1946, with headquarters in the Olympic Hotel. A well-balanced program was offered, comprised of nine sessions, including a student session and a session devoted to a discussion on the organization of the engineering profession, interspersed with inspection trips, a golf tournament, and social events for both men and women. Judged by the many enthusiastic comments received, the meeting was highly successful. The total attendance of 562 was a record for Pacific Coast meetings and more than double the attendance at the last meeting held in Seattle in 1935.
