Abstract :
SOME 500 representatives of industry, colleges, engineering societies, and the press in the New York City area gathered at a luncheon on May 13 in the Hotel Astor to hear W. P. Marshall, president of Western Union, describe some of the new electrical wonders that are now being developed and to salute the AIEE. The occassion was the commemoration of the Institute´s founding meeting which took place 75 years ago, on May 13, 1884. The luncheon was one of many such affairs which will be held throughout the country by the Institute´s 112 Sections to mark the Diamond Jubilee Year.
