' ENGINEERS OF HUMAN COMFORT 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. He is truly an Engineer of Human Comfort. In September 1894, a little group of engineers, educators and manu facturers gathered in New. York and agreed that the great art of heating and ventilating deserved and required recognition as an essential, dis-i tinctive 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 indoors, They foresaw the need for research and one. of the first acts of the organized body was to establish a Committee on Standards. 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 Venti- - lating Engineers--3006 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.' , The first Annual Meeting was held in New York, N. Y., January 22-24, 1895, and the organization was incorporated under the laws of the State. The Society now has 3006 members on its rolls, including engineers, educators, scientists, physicians, architects, contractors, and leaders of industry.
