Abstract :
Engineering Council has in numerous ways expedited the creation of a comprehensive, representative body to perform for the engineers of America in a larger fashion, such functions as Council has performed for the past three years. At its meeting in October, 1919, Council endorsed the general plan for a national engineering council, as outlined by the Joint Conference Committee of the Founder Societies. January 23, 1920, it assembled in joint meeting in Engineering Societies Building, the governing bodies of all its member societies and United Engineering Society, at which meeting the plan was given strong impetus. Through its Washington office, and otherwise, Council aided the Organizing Conference of Technical Societies, held June 3 and 4, in Washington.
