Hambleton discussed difficulties encountered in his senior thesis work on “Determination of Iron Losses” and Professor Rice then led the discussion on the Institute paper, “The Engineer´s Activity in Public Affairs”, which appeared in the April Proceedings. A brief outline of the paper was given by Professor Rice, and a general discussion followed.
