Chester L. Dawes '09, assistant professor of Electrical Engineering at Harvard University, has traveled abroadto study the European developments in the manufacture of electric cables. Professor Dawes has specialized in electric cables and
the causes and prevention of breakdowns, which have in the past caused considerable interruption of service.Dawes graduated with the class of 1909. Following this he served as an instructor in the Physics and Electrical Engineering departments
until 1911. During 1913 and 1914 he served as a professor of Electrical Engineering at Annapolis, and then went back to Harvard. In l 919 hewas ;made assistant professor of Electrical Engineering at that institution, which position he now holds.
Besides this he has been connected with the evening division of the Franklin Union Technical Instituteand has been the head of the industrial electricity course there since 1909. He has presented a paper, "Ionization Studiesin Cables," at a meeting of
the A. I. E. E., in New York. Professor Dawes has written a considerable number of books on electrical engineeing and other scientific subjects,and is considered an authority on cables and insulation.
