The Structural Engineer, Volume 26, Issue 12, 1948
The devastation of the world war swept over the capital of Hungary and the fury of the enemy deprived the " Queen of the Danube " of all her beautiful and world famous bridges, which are shown in Figs. 1 and 2. When the siege of the city ended about the middle of February, 1945, and the tortured inhabitants could creep out from beneath the ruins of their homes, the capital was cut in two, because the most simple means of communication were in ruins. Dr. Charles Szechy
I am very conscious of the honour you have conferred upon me by election as your President. Our Institution whose rapid development I have eagerly watched through nearly thirty years of membership, is very dear to me and it gives me immense pleasure now to be entrusted by you with its highest office. With the help of your Council, whose forceful and progressive ability I much admire and respect, and with your support I shall discharge my duties as faithfullv and earnestly as I can and I hope I shall not disappoint you. L. Scott White
It is with deep regret that the Council has to record the death of two Past Presidents of the Institution, Mr. J. F. Butler and Mr. H., J. Deane.
