Abstract :
UP to January 20, 38 of the Institute´s 61 Sections had signified their intentions of holding meetings on March 20 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the a-c system in America; 6 additional Sections expressed their willingness to cooperate fully in the celebration, although hampered by conditions peculiar to their specific programs. A few are able to meet the suggested date only approximately, and not all are able to devote their entire programs. That the response has been so general makes evident the appreciation of the importance of the event in engineering history and the possibilities of emphasizing the contributions of the electrical engineer to social progress.
