Conformity between Model and Prototype: A Symposium: Foreword

A comprehensive Symposium on the conformity of model to prototype behavior has been in the minds of the Executive Committee of the Hydraulics Division for a number of years. The Committee on Hydraulic Research (J. C. Stevens, M. Am. Soc. C. E., Chairman), appointed in April, 1934, has announced this subject as one of its major interests (1), and the present Symposium is the result of the efforts of Subcommittee 2, comprising Clarence E. Bardsley, M. Am. Soc. C. E., and Joseph B. Tiffany, Jr., Jun. Am. Soc. C. E., with E. W. Lane, M. Am. Soc. C. E., as Chairman. Credit should also be given to Paul W. Thompson, Assoc. M. Am. Soc. C. E., and Herbert D. Vogel, M. Am. Soc. C. E. Lieutenant- Co lonel Thompson succeeded Colonel Vogel on the committee and was in turn succeeded by Mr. Tiffany.
