E D I T O R I A L While doing research for this commemorative issue of LD+A, I got goose bumps after coming across the following passage from Ruby Redford’s Editorial in the January 1956 issue of Illuminating Engineering: “The issue of the Society’s journal which will commemorate the IES Centennial in the year 2006 will be prepared by an editor as yet unborn, or currently in his playpen. He will no doubt be grateful to the men who undertook months of research, months of work, in the preparation of the fifty-year summary.” How correct Ms. Redford was. I am that “as yet unborn editor,” and, yes, I am eternally grateful to those responsible for creating not only the 50 th anniversary edition of Illuminating Engineering but much of that vast archive of resources which resides around the corner from my office in our conference room/library. The January ‘56 issue (far right cabinet, second shelf from the bottom) and various back issues of LD+A are still cluttered with yellow Post-it notes, and I would typically break into a cold sweat when I found a historically significant periodical had been temporarily “checked out” by a colleague. Building on Ruby Redford’s 50 th anniversary issue and LD+A editor Wanda Jankowski’s 75 th anniversary issue in January 1981, this month’s LD+A is meant to reflect the overarching theme of the IESNA Centennial: “Celebrating the past... Imagining the future.” To celebrate the past, we’ve taken a two-pronged approach, focusing on the birth and evolution of the IESNA itself (pgs. 42-57), as well as the milestones and people that have influenced lighting and “illuminating engineering” as a discipline (pgs. 58-65). Next, we move on to “imagining the future.” We asked several of our regular columnists to speculate on some of the trends that might drive professional practice and the industry in the coming years. Finally, two roundtable panels describe their dream projects and suggest changes in the industry they would mandate if they were “lighting czar” for a day. Much of what you will read here would not have been possible without the efforts of Centennial Committee members and others dedicated to ensuring that this Centennial theme issue would represent our collective best efforts. Special thanks go to Kevin Flynn (Centennial Committee chair), Richard LeVere and James Jewell for spearheading the work on the “Lighting Pioneers” compilation. Finally, a message to the editor as yet unborn, or currently in his or her playpen, who will prepare the next anniversary issue of an IESNA periodical: I hope you find the material in this issue of LD+A and in our “Century Series” useful, relevant, educational and entertaining.
