Unattached Architects.

A question of some importance to members of the New Zealand Institute of Architects as representing the profession of Architecture which is likely to attract notice in the near future is that of persons who are members of Architectural Societies outside of this Dominion remaining unattached to this Institute and so being, for all practical purposes, beyond the jurisdiction of any responsible body. While the council does not go the length of suggesting that full members of, say the Royal Institute of British Architects should be required, as a condition of membership, to ally themselves to the allied society of the country in which they reside, it feels disposed to suggest that no licentiateships should be continued nor any new ones granted to residents within this Dominion unless the person concerned is a member of this institute. In a very short time from now the door of the institute will be entirely closed to all but those who enter either through the examination room or are admitted ad eundem statim, and it behoves the few architects remaining aloof to take advantage of the opportunities remaining before their exclusion must become permanent.
