Abstract :
After several years of thought and discussion along similar lines, the movement for the affiliation of the architectural, engineering and other technical societies of Detroit was taken up seriously in June 1921 by the organization of a Temporary Council composed of two delegates from each of the several societies interested. The affiliation has become an accomplished fact, taking effect January 1, 1922, by the ratification of the proposed Constitution and By-Laws, acceptance of membership and election of Councellors by the following twelve societies: Detroit Section, American Society of Civil Engineers; Detroit Chapter, American Association of Engineers; Michigan Chapter, American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers; Detroit Post, Society of American Military Engineers; Detroit Section, American Society of Mechanical Engineers; Detroit-Ann Arbor Section, American Institute of Electrical Engineers; American Institute of Chemical Engineers; Detroit Engineering Society; American Chemical Society and Detroit Chemists; Michigan Chapter, American Institute of Architects; Detroit Section, Michigan Society of Architects; Detroit Chapter, American Society of Steel Treating.
