Institute activities: North Eastern district meeting an outstanding success

A very successful wartime technical meeting of the AIEE North Eastern District was held in Boston, Mass., April 19 and 20, 1944, with headquarters in the Hotel Statler. Eight technical sessions and a special session to observe the AIEE 60th anniversary were held during the two days of the meeting, which was preceded by the tri-Sectional technical-paper competition among the Lynn, Pittsfield, and Schenectady Sections on the evening of Tuesday, April 18. Many of the presentations illustrated the electrical engineer´s contribution to the war effort in a wide variety of specialized fields. The total attendance was approximately 630, which is appreciably higher than attendance figures for North Eastern District meetings in the past ten years and probably an all-time high for a North Eastern District meeting.
