The; Heating, Ventilating .and Air Conditioning Engineer through his work and . research brings to our homes, our offices and our factories', in both summer and winter, that climate best suited to our comfort and health, and he creates for our industries- ; those atmospheric conditions which improve quality of product and speed production. - He is truly an Engineer of Human Comfort and a public benefactor. \ ...It was in 1894 that a small group of nationally known engineers, educators, and ; manufacturers organized the A'S.H.V.E. for, the express purpose of improving.the Art --through the interchange of ideas and stimulation of scientific research and invention. In 1894, it was agreed that the great art of heating and ventilating, deserved and ` j required recognition as an essential, distinctive and highly specialized division of modern > .engineering. These, men realized the basic importance'of heating and ventilating as the.'primary element in the well-being of civilized mankind, living and working mostly - .ipdoors. <. - " These,keen, alert, progressive men knew that the methods and equipment of their-. - day could be improved even beyond their own vision if all the personalities striving for `such improvement could be welded into one organized cooperative group, imbued with- * the same ideals arid. set toward the same goal. So they formed themselves into the' nucleus of such an organization and called.it The American Society of Heating and Ventilating ,Engineers. /. . That the Charter Members had great faith in their enterprise is evident,-although. little did they dream that progress would be so rapid in their profession. ; ' * During ` the intervening years since that little group of 75 pioneers unfurled!-the; : banner of . The American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers--4506 ; of~the real leaders of thought and action in heating, ventilating,'and air conditioning have gathered about that standard and carried it* proudly before them far along the way of real accomplishment. They .may be identified among engineering groups by . the distinctive emblem which^.was adopted by the Charter Members.' . - - 'r . : '--The-record of.the Society's accomplishments is a long and brilliant one, yet it must. /. - embrace but a small-part .of the real, achievement which the Society has inspired both . among its .members arid the many non-members whose work it has influenced. ' Re- . warding'the'efforts of'its founders, who gave unstintingly of .their time and means, the- . Society .has been tremendously effective in the'advancement of the Art arid Industry. throughits: manifold activities.. F rg i;: I- r^-5fe -4 - FOUNDING OF THE A. S. H.
