AIEE's new national meeting gets off to a good start at Chicago

With a verified registration of 1449, the first in the fourth and newest series of AIEE national meetings was held at the Congress Hotel in Chicago, Ill., November 3–7, 1947. The high attendance and the extent of active individual participation in this meeting would seem to constitute a vindication of the judgment of those whose foresight and planning led to the establishment of this new series of meetings, known officially as AIEE Midwest general meetings, which is expected to be held annually somewhere in that vast area generally known as the “Middle West,” the better to serve AIEE members in that area. The Milwaukee Section has asked for and received the sponsorship for the meeting in the fall of 1948, and there is conversation about Cincinnati, Ohio, for the fall of 1949.
