History

The Saint Louis Section has been in existence for over 100 years as part of IEEE. The section encompasses a large territory stretching from Hannibal, MO, to Carbondale, IL, to the Missouri boot heel, to Rolla, to Columbia-and a small stretch along I-70 to the Indiana border. As of 2008, they had over 2600 IEEE members in the Section.

Notes: Prior to 1991 elections were held in March and new officers took charge in June for a year. After that time offices were held for a calendar year. When IEEE was formed, the section bylaws stated that the office of Sr. Vice Chairman was the chairman elect for the following year. H P Dougherty is listed on section letterhead as chairman for 1963-1964 and G E Dreifke was listed as Sr. Vice Chairman. He was presumably the chairman for 1964-65.

Mr H D Seielstad was listed as 'Temporary Secretary' in the Proc IRE June 1942. R L Glasgow, Washington University, was listed as 'temporary chairman' in the Proc IRE Jan 1942.

Notes

↑ Names are obtained from a combination of newsletter publications and collective memory.
↑ Names obtained from publications of the IRE. In most cases these are just the first initial(s) and last name. First names are obtained from additional research.
↑ Names obtained from publications of the AIEE. In most cases names are given as first/middle initial and last name. Full names have been obtained in some cases through additional research.

I am particularly interested in early copies of the section newsletter 'The Mighty Mho' as well as any previous newsletters which included section news such as the 'Gateway Engineer' published by the Engineer's Club.
