z-' MM 7 .. THE 4920 EMF; J W«K= P A. I. E. E. In August, 1919, the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers authorized the establishment of a student branch at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The National organization is the larg- est of its kind in the world, and has about 10,000 enrolled members. On Edison Day, Oct. 21. 1919, an enthusiastic meeting was held in Room 157, when the School of Engineering branch was definitely organized. Dean John Ball, E. E., presided over this meeting at which the offi- cers were elected and the committees apointed for the coming year. A proposed set of by laws was submitted. With one or two minor corrections they were unanimously adopted as proposed. Short talks were given by Arthur Simon, Harrison Reid and Prof. Kartak, all members of the A. I. E. E. 'I'he meeting was attended by 122 students and 55 students were enrolled as charter members. Since then, the enrollment has been increased to 218. The first regular meeting under the auspices of the S. O. E. branch of the A. 1. E. E. was held in Room 48 of the Insurance Building on Nov. 21. when all attendance records for such gatherings were broken. Two hundred and forty-one attended the meeting of whom nearly 100 were enrolled students Chairman John D. Ball presided and introduced the speaker of the even- ing, Mr. W. M. White, president of the Engineering Society of Milwaukee, K''. and consulting engineer of the Allis-Chalmers Co. Mr. White gave an exceptionally fine lecture on Hydro electric develop- ments in America and his talk proved immensely interesting to all present. Over 50 applications for membership, were received at this meeting, which was a great success in every way. The second meeting of the new branch , organization was held on the evening of Dec. 17th at the new Fraternity House on East Water street, and was in the form of a smoker. Mr. 1.. If. Olsen, general manager of the American Appraisal Co., gave a very instructive talk on “Appraisals and Valuations to a large audience. The third and latest meeting was held on the evening of Jan. 23 at the new Fraternity House. Although a stormy evening, a good sized audience turned out to hear Mr. C. G. Post deliver a talk on Modern Systems of Trans- mission and Distribution of Electric Power. Mr. Post is connected with ’the T. M. E. R. L. Co., and is exceptionally well acquainted with the subject from personal experience. Numerous questions were asked by the members present and a few re- marks on the subject were made by ex-dean Ball who presided at the meet- ing and by Prof. F. A. Vaughn. The importance of the A. I. E. E. in the development of the electrical industry cannot be over-estimated. The great number of progressive socie- ties in different parts of the country, the untiring and unselfish efforts on the part of prominent individual members has resulted in a steady advancement of electrical applications to their present stage. | hi Page Three Hundred Fifty-one
