Abstract :
The institute, i am happy to say, is doing exceedingly well considering the times. In the last five years we have increased our membership more than 40 per cent and now have 28,400 of the Associate, Member, and Fellow grades and 14,000 of the Student grade. This phenomenal growth has made it necessary to change our organizational setup. The board of directors has recognized the need for these changes and carried them out, but I feel there is still more work to be done to keep abreast of the times. I shall mention a few suggestions briefly.
