Abstract
THE report presented at the annual general meeting on May 12 to the Institution of Electrical Engineers, shows that it is in a very flourishing condition. The membership has increased from 13,561 to 18,252 during the last ten years. The use of the Institution's premises has been granted, without charge, to a number of kindred societies in connexion with their meetings and 188 such meetings have been held during the past year. It has been arranged that as soon as a member of any class has completed fifty years of membership he will automatically cease to be asked any further subscriptions. The Council has decided that facilities to attend Institution meetings and to use the reference library should, as a gesture of good will, be offered to Chinese electrical engineering apprentices and students who, under arrangements made by the Federation of British Industries, have been given opportunities for engineering experience in Great Britain with the object of improving and fostering relations with China. The Council is also giving more active support to the Engineer's 'German Circle'. The lectures given by this Circle are in German and are by eminent German-speaking engineers. On each occasion, they will be followed by a short discussion in German. Those present can thus further their knowledge of technical German.
