The New England Wireless Society.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

Do men seriously interested in radio-telegraphy and allied subjects realize the unusual opportunities available in the New England Wireless Society? They are three-fold. One of the primary aims of this society is the furtherance of wireless amateur interest. The influence on legislation which can be brought to bear by a number of individuals scattered and unorganized is at best slight. But with the prestige of an incorporated society composed of men of college calibre and the leading amateurs of Greater Boston, and with the resources of a membership approximating one hundred, much can be accomplished.

Again, the meetings and activities of the society are of great benefit to the prospective engineer as well as to the dilettante operator. The chance is offered of becoming acquainted, exchanging ideas, and obtaining new information from men of the 'Tech and Tufts Wireless Associations, which with the Harvard Wireless Club form the local chapters, besides many older men of Boston and vicinity who pursue the study of radio-telegraphy and telephony as an avocation.

The most important opportunity and the strongest attraction is found in the lecture at each monthly meeting. Provision is being made to secure really "big" men in the engineering and commercial wireless fields to give these talks. Several of the foremost authorities are confidently expected to accept the invitation of the society for the first Saturday evening of each month. The program for November 2--the first meeting of the season, to be held in Room 23, Walker Building, Institute of Technology, Boston--includes addresses by Mr. H. E. Upton on the new legal restrictions of amateurs, Mr. H. B. Richmond on means of tuning the sending set to comply with the new law, and Mr. F. L. Ducharme on some recent developments in wireless apparatus. Membership in the Harvard Wireless Club and other local chapters is technically sufficient qualification for entrance to the society. The first meeting, however, will be open to all men interested. ERNEST W. CHAPIN '13.
