Another Milestone

Emery Huse

July 24, 1941, marks the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers. In 1916 when a group of twenty-six technical men, headed by Mr. C. Francis Jenkins of Washington, D. C., met with the idea of formulating a motion picture engineering society, little did they realize what might come of their idea. The Society as a mere infant passed through the First World War with only a few scars. As the years passed the Society grew in membership and in strength until it eventually became a nationwide organization. Some years after its inception it began to reach out into the world for membership and as a result of its far-reaching activities it has become without question the outstanding motion picture engineering society in the world today.
