Abstract :
Membership in the AIEE has meant a great deal to me, individually and as an educator. First of all, it stands for all the fine things in a noble profession. It is, so to speak, the guiding light that lights up the paths of professional dignity, professional progress, and inspiration. The AIEE through its many committees, its Winter General Meeting, Summer General Meeting, the District Meetings, and Section Meetings, affords one the opportunity to meet on a common footing the real leaders in the electrical engineering field. To me it has been a great satisfaction and real inspiration to have known such giants as C. P. Steinmetz, M. I. Pupin, B. G. Lamme, C. F. Scott, and many others who have passed on. This pleasure and profit could never have been enjoyed except through the activities of the AIEE. It is a great profession, and a great Institute and I am most proud to be affiliated with both.
