Valedictory address

Gentlemen, When you honoured me by electing me to act as head of the Institute for the past year, I aspired to a progressive policy and a high standard, thereby emulating those eminent in electrical engineering fields in South Africa who preceded me. If I have in any way failed to reach the standard set it is not for lack of endeavour to maintain the high traditions and dignity of our Institute or the responsibility of the position, but rather due to the enormous field now covered by our profession and the many and varied activities of the Institute.
