The Institute of Radio Engineers announces with regret the death of Morris N. Liebmann. Mr. Liebmann was a Westerner, a graduate of the University of Nebraska, and served with a Western regiment in the Spanish-American War. He came to New York several years later. In 1901, he joined Company I of the old Twentythird Regiment, of Brooklyn, rising in rank until he became its Commander. He served as Captain on the Mexican border in June, 1916. He was Vice-President and Secretary of a large New York company manufacturing scientific and engineering equipment. He was a member of The Institute of Radio Engineers. In May, 1917, he was commissioned Lieutenant- Colonel, and was repeatedly commended, at Spartanburg and elsewhere, for the excellent showing made by the men under his command. On August 8, 1918, Lieutenant-Colonel Liebmann was killed in action while leading his men in a charge at the front in Flanders. He is remembered among his many friends in the radio field as an able and indefatigable worker and a man of loyal and attractive personality.
