- 2 - IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW FROM PROFESSOR J. C. JENSEN, DIRECTOR AND ENGINEER, RADIO STATION WCAJ, NEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, LINCOLN. Indeed I am due Mr. Jensen an apology for overlooking the letter below. Time is now very limited for the meeting he has suggested in New Orleans. No doubt many of our representatives will be in attendance at the Institute and Council mentioned in his communication. Will you therefore kindly get in touch with him relative to the suggestions made in the communication. His letter reads as follows} H As representative of the Institute of Radio Engineers on the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, I am arranging for a meeting of the Institute at New Orleans from December 28 - January 2. It has occurred to me that this would be a good opportunity to have a conference of representatives of the Educational broadcasting stations who might be present, giving special reference to the technical problems of broadcasting. With this in mind I wrote Dr. Tyler and he indicated that both he and Mr. Perry Armstrong would probably be present for such a meeting. What do you think of the desirability of promoting such a gathering, either as a part of, or in connection with the meeting of the Institute of Radio Engineers? Kindly pass this on to Mr. Higgy for his comments also.’* FROM MR.
