DESCRIPTION:The Morton Contest began in 1959 after a $2000 gift to the then
  Lehigh Valley Section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (
 AIEE). C.S. Brangan of Philadelphia donated the money in memory of his clo
 se friend\, Walter B. Morton\, who was the chief electrical engineer of PP
 &L Company and who had a distinct interest in student activities through t
 he AIEE. Brangan stipulated that the money was to provide a prize for a co
 ntest to be held among the undergraduate colleges with AIEE student branch
 es in the Lehigh Valley Section\; at the time of the gift\, those colleges
  were Bucknell University\, Lafayette College\, and Lehigh. Brangan specif
 ied that the money was to last for 20 years\, so there was one prize award
 ed in 1959 of $100. The Lehigh Valley section has continued to support the
  contest beyond the initial 20 years\, and starting in 2012 prizes were ra
 ised to $500 for first place\, $300 for second and $100 for third place. I
 n 2021 the Lehigh Valley Section raised the prize values to $550 for first
  place\, $350 for second\, and $150 for third. The branch of the first pla
 ce prizewinner also gets a plaque for display.\n\nThe Lehigh Valley sectio
 n now consists of four branches: Lafayette College\, Lehigh University\, W
 ilkes University and the University of Scranton. Bucknell was removed from
  the Lehigh Valley section in 1963 but was grandfathered into contest part
 icipation by the Section Executive Committee\, however has not participate
 d in several years making four total participating branches in the contest
