Abstract :
The response of Dr. Richard E. Merwin to item 2a of "Questions for Candidates" [T&S, September 1977, p.8] should have read as follows: "The clause should be altered to read Professional Engineer (as it is now recognized in most states). The title of engineer is descriptive of one\´s occupation and background and not of one\´s qualifications to sign contracts and other legal documents as a specialist of some kind." The word "not" was inadvertently omitted from the second sentence.
