Abstract :
At the December meeting of the Board of Directors, the Special Committee on Election Procedure, appointed in the spring of 1924, to study the election procedure of the Institute, submitted a report recommending some changes in the method of election, whereby but one ballot would be sent out to the membership instead of, as in the past, a nomination ballot and later an election ballot. It is also proposed to institute a Nominating Committee, composed of one representative from each of the ten Geographical Districts of the Institute and five additional members, selected by the Board of Directors, making a total of fifteen members — who shall prepare an official nominees ticket after giving consideration to all suggestions that may be received from the membership. Provision will also be made for other candidates upon nomination by groups of members.
