Description

Retiring President's address by Professor Sir Henry Egerton Barraclough, KBE VD ME MME(Cornell) MIEAust, to the sixteenth Annual General Meeting of the Institution of Engineers Australia, at Perth, on 1st April 1936.

Editorial Note - It is the normal practice that the Presidential Address shall be presented during the progress of the Annual General Meeting of The Institution. The decision that the Conference dinner should precede the Annual Meeting, in April last, met successfully the social needs of the evening, but was so extravagant in respect of time that the period available for the business of the Annual General Meeting was quite inadequate. Therefore it was deemed desirable by the President that he touch only lightly upon certain "high lights!" hoping for a subsequent opportunity to record in written word that which he had proposed to develop in the course of his spoken address. Circumstances intervened which have prevented the publication of the Presidential Address until now, when it is considered appropriate that advantage be taken of this, the concluding issue of Volume 8 of The Journal, to record Sir Henry's notable contribution to the important series of Presidential Addresses with which The Institution has been honoured since its establishment.
