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 presentday
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.
