The Society of Chinese Architects

THE Society of Chinese Architects, which was organized last year by the local Chinese practicing architects, held its first annual meeting in the form of a dinner at the China United Apartment dining room a week ago. The following officers were elected: President Mr. Robert Fan; Vice-President, Mr Y.C. Lu; Treasurer and Secretary, Mr Poy G. Lee; Mr T. Chuang was elected to serve on the Board of Directors.

The objects of the society are to unite in fellowship the architects of China and to combine their efforts so as to uphold the dignity and standing, and to promote the efficiency of the profession, and to render support to the public authorities in their civic developments and improvements.

In view of the recent steps taken by the local Chinese Government in relation to the registration of practicing architects, the Society has offered its service to the Public Works Offices of the Government on matters concerning the profession.

One of the most ambitious plans of this group of enthusiastic men is to obtain a club house for the society. It is hoped that general public interest will be given to the advancement of architecture in China to such an extent that the club will be donated to the society as a gift by some enthusiastic patrons.

In view of the fact that there are a great number of students and draftsmen who desire to learn architecture but cannot obtain proper training on these lines, the society proposes to incorporate into their future clubhouse an atelier to give these young men the opportunity of educating themselves on the lines of architectural design.
