Institute activities: Open doors

As your President, I have had a lovely year. I have been privileged to be with the members often, as I have had the outstanding pleasure to visit 50 of our 84 Sections and 7 of our 42 Subsections, covering our 10 Districts, and have had the genuine enjoyment of attending the four General Meetings and the three District Meetings of our Institute held in the past year, which have carried forward the strength of our Institute into the year to come and through which I have had some contact with all of the Sections. I have seen the youth of our profession in 50 of our 129 Student Branches and in our General and District Meetings where I have had some contact with practically every one of our Student Branches, and I can assure you of the continuance of electrical engineering achievement as these young men enter the profession, under-girded by the contributions to their engineering life by the teachers in the engineering schools of our land and by our Student Branch Counsellors who have brought to them a knowledge of our Institute so that they will continue their future engineering lives with us.
