Valedictory address. The relationship of the engineer to national development

The difficulty in choosing a title for one's Valedictory Address is far greater than analysing the subject matter one has in mind. Individuality in such an address is, of course, not only a privilege but an essential feature. One also realises that utterances from the president of such a responsible national body as is represented in the South African Institute of Electrical Engineers reflect in a measure the keynote of our constitution; that is the establishment of the faculty of electrical engineering in South Africa to such an extent that the Government and its people can look to this Institute as forming an integral component in national development.
