(2) Each Class may elect officers and conduct business as provided in the By-Laws. New (Present Article VIII becomes Article IX and subse quent Articles are renumbered.) , Article XII (3) Each Class shall appoint such members of general committees of The Society as the By-Laws of The So ciety may currently require, the manner of such appoint ment to be as provided in the Rules of each Class. REASONS FOR PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE CONSTITUTION Several of our committees, and more particularly the Committee on Education, the report of which appears on p. 121 in this issue of The Bulletin, have dealt with the status of the Ceramic Engineer with reference to State Examining Boards and the Engineer's Council for Pro fessional Development. The problem was presented to the Board of Trustees by this Committee and also by the Education Committee of Keramos. It was felt that Ceramic Engineers were at a disadvantage, owing to the fact that the American Ceramic Society was unable, per se, to support them in the same manner that the several engineering societies supported their respective classes of engineers and that there was danger of Ceramic Engineering being considered a subbranch of some other recognized group. It was recognized that the American Ceramic Society, made up as it is largely of Ceramic Technologists and Ceramic Artists as well as Ceramic Engineers, could not practically conform to the pattern recommended by E.C.P.D. and now being adopted by the engineering societies. It was further recognized that a separate organization of Ceramic Engineers was neither desirable nor practical. On the other band, a group of members of the American Ceramic Society has petitioned the Board of Trustees for permission to form, within the Society, a group of Ceramic Engineers. It was proposed, therefore, to provide authority in the Constitution of the Society so that any of the basic gi oups in our membership could form a semi-autonomous organi zation when and if it were desirable. Acting under in structions from the Board of Trustees, amendments to the Constitution are herewith submitted to the member ship for discussion at the Annual Business Meeting, March 23, 1937, as provided in Article XIV. These amendments provide for dividing the Society into "classes" of members, and calling what was formerly referred to as classes, "grades," that is, Fellow, Member, Corporation Member, etc. Each "Class" established by the Board of Trustees in the By-Laws would elect a Trustee to serve for three years. The Divisional set-up would not be changed by any of these amendments. In order to permit the Ceramic Engineers to set up their "Class" in line with the recommendations of E.C. P.D. for engineering societies, it is necessary to provide in the Constitution for a distinction between Members and Associate Members. The details of distinction will have to be developed by the respective "Classes." Differ ences of privilege, if any, would only apply in the "Class," since the Constitution, as amended, will provide for no such difference with respect to the affairs of the general Society. --W.
