 committee, to be known as the Examining Board, consisting of three members of the 

 Executive Committee, one of whom shall be the Secretary, and not more than two of 

 whom shall have their place of business in the same state. 



It shall be the duty of the Examining Board to inquire diligently into the fitness 

 of each candidate, and to report favorably to the Executive Committee the names of 

 those of whose fitness they find satisfactory evidence. As one means of securing information 

 in regard to candidates the Examining Board shall mail to each member of every class 

 in the Society an inquiry in regard to each candidate, asking for an expression of opinion 

 as to the probable fitness of the candidate in respect to professional attainment and hon- 

 orable personal and professional standing. 



The Examining Board shall not act upon the name of a candidate within less than 

 one month after asking for the opinion of members in regard to him.
