HE
lonique Society first made its appearance in the
Engineering College in September, 1923. It is an
organization of architectural engineers organized for
a two-fold purpose: first, to stimulate interest in
architecture among the students of architecture; and
secondly, to aid in building up this department of the
Engineering College.
At the outset the way
was rather rough for the society, due to lack of
students in the department and lack of interest in the
society of the students registered in architectural
engineering, hence development was slow. However, this
year has proven to be more fruitful. The meetings have
been conscientiously attended, a greater interest has
been shown, and two informal social gatherings have
taken place. At these gatherings the Ioniques were
addressed by prominent Lincoln architects, members of
the American Institute of Architects, whose talks were
very instructive.
The society also
received recognition from the Nebraska chapter of the
American Institute of Architects in the way of a
letter agreeing to arrange a series of lectures and to
aid the society in any way they are able. The quest
for recognition is perhaps the most important step
taken during the past year by the society, as it must
be recognized before it can expect to accomplish its
aims.
Hence, in view of
the fact that the society is steadily growing, it may
be said, with truth. that the year has been a
successful one for the Ionique Society and that
greater success may be expected in the future.
