American Engineering Council

Herbert Hoover has resigned as president of American Engineering Council of the Federated American Engineering Societies. Mr. Hoover´s resignation was submitted and accepted as the closing action of the sessions of the council held April 16 at the Engineers Club of Philadelphia. Mr. Hoover gave as his reasons the fact that American Engineering Council by its constitution was necessarily engaged in furthering national activities which involve legislation; and that he as a member of the executive branch of the government could not consistently direct such activity as an officer of American Engineering Council.
