Abstract :
On outstanding occasions in our Institute life we have been carried to pinnacles of inspiration and vision for future achievement. So were we at our recent winter general meeting in New York, N. Y., when Charles E. Wilson addressed some 1,000 of our members on “The Professional Estate.” Full text of Mr. Wilson´s address was published in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (EE, Mar ´49, pp 187–90). I trust you all have read it, thought about it, and have brought it into your lives as motivation for the unparalleled opportunities of the electrical engineer to serve with his fellowmen.
