The A. I. E. E. and the technical committees

The rapid growth of the science of electricity and the increase in membership and the activities of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, have brought about a situation where the present form of organization and method of procedure fails to meet all of the demands of its members for professional activities in this line. The paper points out the difficulties of the situation, makes a tentative suggestion, and brings up a number of points involved on which discussion is invited in order to assist those who are considering the possibility of somewhat modifying the Institute's organization to meet these new demands.
