Exploration and discovery are woven through the pattern of Ohio's history. First the Indian tribes ex- plored and inhabited its fertile ex- panse. Later— in the 17th Century —came the first French and English traders. As smoke signals and foot- runners were their only "lines of contact", they were lost to the world as far as communication was con- cerned. In our own times wireless had not been in existence long, before Ohio cities felt the beat of electro- magnetic pulses in earphones at Cleveland, Toledo and Ashtabula, as ships on Lake Erie first began to spark their invisible messages to the shore.

So staggering is the list of Edi- son's inventions, and so practical is their usefulness, that he is recorded in history not only as the "lamp- lighter", but as "the supreme inven- tive genius of the industrial age." The applications of his inventions to peacetime pursuits reveal the tremendous potentialities of science for the benefit of mankind. For science lifts man's burdens, saves his time, adds to the comforts and the pleasures of his life. Mankind Looks Upward Edison left us fifteen years ago. Those who have followed him in sci- ence have travelled close to trails which he blazed. Within the past decade, they have succeeded in meet- ing the demands of global war.

  • Scms 2017 Conference Program
    SCMS 2017 CONFERENCE PROGRAM FAIRMONT CHICAGO MILLENNIUM PARK March 22–26, 2017 Letter from the President Dear Friends and Colleagues, On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Host and Program Committees, and the Home Office staff, let me welcome everyone to SCMS 2017 in Chicago! Because of its Midwestern location and huge hub airport, not to say its wealth of great restaurants, nightlife, museums, shopping, and architecture, Chicago is always an exciting setting for an SCMS conference. This year at the Fairmont Chicago hotel we are in the heart of the city, close to the Loop, the river, and the Magnificent Mile. You can see the nearby Millennium Park from our hotel and the Art Institute on Michigan Avenue is but a short walk away. Included with the inexpensive hotel rate, moreover, are several amenities that I hope you will enjoy. I know from previewing the program that, as always, it boasts an impressive display of the best, most stimulating work presently being done in our field, which is at once singular in its focus on visual and digital media and yet quite diverse in its scope, intellectual interests and goals, and methodologies. This year we introduced our new policy limiting members to a single role, and I am happy to say that we achieved our goal of having fewer panels overall with no apparent loss of quality in the program or member participation. With this conference we have made presentation abstracts available online on a voluntary basis, and I urge you to let them help you navigate your way through the program.
