Synopsis

Leadership, combined with innovation and integrity, are qualities inherent in James G. MacGregorAs personal and professional activities. These attributes led a group known as the 'Friends of Jim' to prepare and hold a national symposium of the American Concrete Institute in Seattle to honor Jim MacGregor. The symposium offered papers on diagonal tension, reliability, columns, and engineering procedures and was well received. These papers have been published in the ACI Structural Journal or in the symposium volume. Papers offered for publication were reviewed according to ACI procedures. The 'Friends of Jim' began work on this volume and members of the ACI staff ably assisted them. Without this valuable assistance, considerable delay may have resulted. Leadership is not a common quality in a modern society. Many aspire to leadership but few have the integrity, the compassion, the will to serve, or the people skills to be leaders. Such an individual is Jim MacGregor.
