LIVERPOOL

ARCHITECTURAL AND

ARCHIEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Last evening the above society held their usual periodical
meeting, at the Royal Institution, Colquitt-street, The presi-
dent, Mr. J. Hay, occupied the chair.

_ . . .
The secretary announced that the society had been presented
with two tinted bird's-eye views of Liverpool in 1655 and in
1855.

The Chairman then directed attention to the following
resolution, which had been passed in December last : " That
though this society has the power of enforcing payment of the
subscriptions in arrear, by the Literary Institution Act, yet, in,
lieu of taking legal proceedings against those members more
than twelve months in arrear, who have neither acknowledged
the letters of the secretary, nor promised their subscriptions, it
is decided that they shall be read out on the first public meet-
ing in January, 1856." He added, that upon consideration of
the matter the council had found, that out of 150 members,
there were only eleven in arrears:— five of that number had
come forward and paid up their subscriptions, three were in
bad health, one had sent an insolent reply, :two had sent no
reply at all.

Mr. William Stubbs was elected an associate member.
The Secretary read a letter from Mr. T. W. Jones, point.
ing out tho inaocuraciee mocto in a roport of the ooeioty's lair
annual excursion relative to Crewe Castle, and said he would
comparo it with the official reports.

The Chairman then, in a very lengthy paper, introduced the
business of the evening : " Whether it was desirable or not
for this society to co-operate with the London Architectural
Association in endeavouring to obtain the issue of a diploma."
Mr. Boult on giving his views on the subject, expressed
himself in favour of the profession obtaining a certificate, but
that architecture and engineering should be combined. He
denied that such a system was alien to the spirit of the age.
He concluded by proposing a resolution to the effect that the
meeting was favourable to a systematic course of education,
and that the society was willing to co-operate with the Society
of British Artists to obtain a certificate.
Mr. Thomas M, Rickman offered a few observations in
favour of the views enunciated in the resolution.
Mr. Rimmer did not agree with the former speaker, and he
thought there were several almost insupportable objections to
the allowing of a certificate, or a diploma.
Mr. Hay agreed with the views expressed by Mr. Boult,
the mover of the resolution.

The Secretary concurred in the general observations of the
gentlemen who had spoken in favour of the architect having
a regular education, and in favour of their having a certificate.
The Mover of the resolution was hero informed that his
motion had not been seconded.
Mr. James Hay then seconded the resolution.

Mr. Verelst next addressed the meeting. He conceived
that the students should exert more energy than they did, and
then neither diploma or certificate would be required. He
replied to some of the arguments adduced by the mover of
the resolution. He concluded by observing that he bad not
been able to form a decided opinion, but he thought he was
rather more opposed to the resolution than otherwise.
Mr. Davis suggested, as the meeting was so very small
that the resolution should not be decided upon on that
occasion.

The Chairman concurred in the suggestion.
Mr. Boult replied to some of the spakers observations.
After which the resolution was carried by a majority of
five to three.
