Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers, Transactions, 1888-9, Vol. 38
IN rendering an account of their stewardship during the past year, the Council feel that much has been done In that time, the fruits of which must be awaited for in the future before they can be properly appreciated. In their last Report several proposed changes in the working of the Institute were mentioned as occupying the attention of the Council. Prominent among these were two new schemes, one for improving the conditions of Membership of the Institute, and the other for the Federation for certain purposes of several of the Mining Institutes of the country. Both proposals have now become facts. A new set of bye-laws has been passed, the principal effects of which will be (1) the abolition Of the three guinea subscription now paid by Ordinary Members; (2) the grouping of all existing, original, ordinary, and professional Associate Members into one professional class of Members, with a subscription of two guineas (3) the retention of the class of Associate Members also paying two guineas, but restricted to persons not professionally connected with Engineering; and (4) the formation of a new class of Associates paying one guinea only, and consisting of such persons as occupy subordinate positions in the Mining and Engineering professions. It is hoped that this new Class will prove a popular one, and will add greatly to the efficiency of the Institute.
