SOCIETIES
CINCINNATI CHAPTER, A. I. A.
On March 19 the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Institute of Architects increased its annual dues, which step was taken in order that the organization might become affiliated with the Engineers’ Club, Electrical Engineers’ Society, Mechanical Engineers and the Chemical Society of Cincinnati. This action on the part of the Chapter now makes the amalgamation of these organizations complete, the architects being the last to take the necessary step. Under this merger each society is to retain its individual identity, but will have one meeting place where all can gather and hold discussions and also maintain a library. The Chapter appointed a committee to act in conjunction with the Erkenbrecher Memorial Association, which proposes to build a monument to the late Andrew Erkenbrecher, founder of the Zoological Garden. It is proposed to erect a memorial entrance to the Zoo, which idea is now being considered by the committee.
