Abstract

The Institute of Metals Lecture was established in 1921, at which time the Institute of Metals Division was the only professional division within the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. It has been given annually since 1922 by distinguished people from this country and abroad. Beginning in 1973 and thereafter, the person selected to deliver the lecture will be known as the “Institute of Metals Division Lecturer and R.F. Mehl Medalist” for that year.
