Only within recent years has there been in this country sufficient 

 demand for the services of the trained landscape architect to make it 

 possible for any considerable body of men to carry on the practice of 

 this profession. The American Society of Landscape Architects was 

 founded in 1899; the first degree for the accomplishment of a desig- 

 nated collegiate course in landscape architecture was granted in 1901. 

 But now (1929) professional degrees are offered by at least eight institu- 

 tions in the United States,* and the field and scope of the profession and 

 the technical knowledge which its practitioners should possess f are 

 being differentiated with considerable clearness from the tangent fields 

 of other professions like architecture and engineering. 



The general principles of the proper professional conduct of a land- Professional 

 scape architect | are in effect the same as those governing the action of 

 the architect, and are not essentially different from those relating to 

 the work of the engineer, because they are fundamentally the prin- 

 ciples of common honesty applied to the relations of a man who sells 



* The American Society of Landscape Architects has issued a statement of mini- 

 mum requirements for professional schools.
