Abstract
THE Council of the Institution of Electrical Engineers has elected Sir John Macfarlane Kennedy, past president, to be an honorary member of the Institution, in recognition of his distinguished work in the sphere of electricity supply and of the services rendered by him to the Institution. Sir John was at Trinity College, Cambridge, and also went to Zurich Polytechnic. He served his pupillage with Richard Moreland and Sons, London, Willans and Robinson, Rugby, and Siemens-Halske, Berlin. During 1902-34 he was a partner in the firm of Kennedy and Donkin, and was engaged in electricity supply, distribution and traction works. In 1922 he submitted to the Electricity Commissioners proposals for the reorganisation of electricity supply in Great Britain, and eventually prepared a report for the Ministry of Transport on the reorganisation of electricity supply.' In 1934 he took office with the Electricity Commission, of which he is now deputy-chairman.
