THE PRESIDENT:-If the INSTITUTE will pardon me, I would like to bring up, somewhat out of place, an important matter which will take but a moment. At the last meeting I made certain recommendations in my inaugural address concerning work which it was proposed that the INSTITUTE should undertake, some few matters which were left incompleted by the late Electrical Congress. The committee appointed for this purpose, now offers the following provisional report. I have been asked to read it, as chairman of the committee. ་ Report of the Committee appointed by the INSTITUTE to consider certain matters of general importance in electrical engineering that have incidentally been left undetermined by the recent Electrical Congress at Chicago." "Your committee considers that there are four subjects of sufficient importance to call for the consideration of the INSTITUTE." "1. The search for an accurately reliable concrete standard of light." "2. The establishment of a unit and standard of illumination." "3. The recommendation of certain practical magnetic units." "4. The establishment of certain precedents in regard to nomenclature." "Your committee recommends that an appeal be made to the leading universities and colleges of the country, possessing electrical laboratories, for aid in dealing with the first two considerations regarding illumination.” The last two considerations are recommended for relegation to the regular committee of the INSTITUTE on units and standards." EDWIN J. HOUSTON, Chairman. DR. EMERY: I move that the report be accepted and that the action recommended be taken. [The motion was carried.] |
