Abstract :
The Executive Board of American Engineering Council of the Federated American Engineering Societies will meet in Washington, D. C, on September 30. The most important business of the meeting will be the election of a president to succeed Herbert Hoover, who resigned after becoming Secretary of Commerce. Nominations to fill this office were ordered at the last Board meeting, so that they could be reported at the September meeting. Other matters bearing on the management of Council, its membership, and the work of its committees will be taken care of at this meeting. The Board will give special attention to the plans for the Engineering Assembly (see below), the extension of employment service, and the question of licensing and registration of engineers.
