STUDENT BRANCHES OF NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL
SOCIETIES

There have been established at the University of Virginia Student
Branches of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (1912), the American
Society of Civil Engineers (1921) and the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (1922). These societies hold regular meetings for the
discussion of periodical literature and the exposition by resident and visiting
engineers of the present-day problems in Engineering. A valuable feature
of the meetings is the opportunity presented for practice in public speaking
and debate. At stated meetings the Branches hold joint sessions for the discussion
of mutually interesting questions. A local society for students of
Chemical Engineering was organized in 1929.
