 involving all or any of these. "Good

 candidate for membership is one who 

 practices the art of fitting land for humin 

 use and enjoyment, and whose compen- 

 sation is received directly from clients or 

 employers for professional services ren- 

 dered and not in the form of a commer- 

 cial or speculative profit on materials or 



labor nor from persons supplying materi- 

 als or labor to said clients or employers. 



Sec. 3. Fellows shall be landscape

 as Members and of not less than 30 years 

 of age, who have been active in the pro- 

 fession for at least ten years and who 

 have been in independent practice for at 

 least five years, and who have produced 

 work sufficient in amount, in range, and 

 in quality, to afford conclusive evidence 

 of their attainment to a high degree of 

 professional competence.

 practice is one whose practice of the pro- 

 fession is conducted wholly or mainly 

 under his own name and upon his own 

 financial and professional responsibility 

 or under the name and upon the financial 

 and professional responsibility of a firm 

 of which he is a member ; provided, how- 

 ever, that for the purposes of this section 

 the Board of Trustees may, in their dis- 

 cretion, classify as in independent prac- 

 tice a landscape architect, in the employ 

 of a corporation, firms or individual en- 

 gaged in the practice of landscape archi- 

 tecture, of whom it is indicated on the 

 letterhead of his employer and stated in 

 writing- to the Board by his employer 

 that he is habitually charged with pro- 

 fessional responsibilities on behalf of his 

 employer equivalent to those assumed by 

 a partner in a firm. 



Sec. 4. Associates shall be persons, 

 other than landscape architects, who 

 have performed notable service in ad- 

 vancing the interest of the profession.
