Twenty-fifth annual convention

The twenty-fifth annual convention of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, held at Atlantic City, N. J., from June 29 to July 2, was undoubtedly the most successful meeting ever held by the A. I. E. E. While the attendance in point of members was not above the average attendance at the Institute conventions during recent ford Martin, Carl Hering, Samuel Sheldon, Louis Duncan, John W. Lieb, Jr., Arthur E. Kennelly, and Elihu Thomson all were there engaged in looking after the welfare of the Institute. Commenting on this interesting feature of the convention at one of the sessions, President Stott said: As a nation we frequently find ourselves asking, ‘What shall we do with our ex-presidents?’ As a national engineering society we ask years there were 469 members and guests yet the proportion of prominent and well-known electrical engineers present and active in one way or another at one or more of the sessions was much greater than usual. Including President-elect Louis A. Ferguson, there were present no less than twelve men that have been honored with the office of president: Charles P. Steinmetz, Charles F. Scott, Schuyler Skaats Wheeler, Henry G. Stott, T. Commerthe same question and then answer it by saying, ‘We make them continue to work for the Institute.’ There are ten of them here now, disinterestedly doing this very thing.
