News of institute and related activities: Summary of local activities reported by sections committee

SECTION activities were the subject of discussion at the recent summer convention conference of officers, delegates, and members, as reported in the August issue, pages 352–3. At that time a mimeographed booklet on Section activities was distributed to the Section delegates. The booklet, which summarizes the information accumulated by the Sections committee during the past few years, has been prepared by the committee as a means of acquainting new Section officers with the types of activities found most fruitful in various Sections. The material has been accumulated since 1937, when the Sections analyzed their aims and activities (see Electrical Engineering, August 1937, page 1046; March 1938, page 134; August 1938, page 351; August 1939, pages 352–3).
