whereupon he organized the Lam, Glines and Co., Inc. Mr. Glines, who is Mr. Lam's partner, is one of the executives of the well-known American engineering firm of Stone and Webster. The formation of the largest shipyard in the world, the Hog Island Shipyard, was in great measure due to the efforts of Mr. Glines. He is now serving as Chairman of the Advisory Board of Secretary Hoover's Far Eastern Commerce Committee. Although Lam, Glines and Co., Inc. is now engaged as contractor, architect, and trader yet the object to which Mr. Lam will ultimately direct his Company's efforts is the development of industries in China. Mr. Lam has under him a staff of young Chinese engineers who are graduates of American Colleges and who will no doubt live up to what is expected of them. Besides being head of his own firm Mr. Lam is also serving as director of the Eastern Hide and Leather Co. He is a member of the Rotary Club as well as belonging to other learned societies and was at one time associate member of the Institute of Naval Architects of Londen, and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers of America.
