Emerson Manufacturing Co. 21 Mortimer Street, Rochester, N. Y. The following... ... CODE OF ETHICS... Prepared in Conformity with the Best Standards of Practice, and Recommended to its Members by the Boston Society of Architects, was ADOPTED BY THE SOCIETY, FEBRUARY 1, .. 1895... SECTION I. No Member should enter into partnership, in any form or degree, with any builder, contractor, or manufacturer. SECTION 2. A Member having any ownership in any building material, device or invention, proposed to be used on work for which he is architect, should inform his employer of the fact of such ownership. * SECTION 3. No Member should be a party to a building contract except as "owner." SECTION 4. No Member should guarantee an estimate or contract by personal bond. * SECTION 5. It is unprofessional to offer draw. ings or other services "on approval" and without adequate pecuniary compensation SECTION 6. It is unprofessional to advertise in any other way than by a notice giving name, address, profession, and office hours, and special branch (if such) of practice. * SECTION 7. It is unprofessional to make alterations of a building designed by another architect, within ten years of its completion, without ascertaining that the owner refuses to employ the original designer, or, in event of the property having changed hands, with out due notice to the said designer. * SECTION 8. It is unprofessional to attempt to supplant an architect after definite steps have been taken toward his employment. SECTION 9. It is unprofessional for a Member to criticise in the public prints the professional conduct or work of another architect except over his own name or under the authority of a professional journal. SECTION 10. It is unprofessional to furnish de signs in competition for private work or for public work, unless for proper compensation, and unless a competent professional adviser is employed to draw up the "conditions" and assist in the award. SECTION II. No Member should submit draw. ings except as an original contributor in any duly instituted competition, or attempt to secure any work for which such a competition remains undecided. SECTION 12. The American Institute of Architects' "schedule of charges" represents mini, mum rates for full, faithful and competent service. It is the duty of every architect to charge higher rates whenever the demand for his services will justify the increase, rather than to accept work to which he cannot give proper personal attention. SECTION 13. No Member shall compete in amount of commission, or offer to work for less than another, in order to secure the work. SECTION 14. It is unprofessional to enter into competition with or to consult with an archi tect who has been dishonorably expelled from the "Institute" or "Society." SECTION 15. The assumption of the title of "Architect" should be held to mean that the bearer has the professional knowledge and natural ability needed for the proper invention, illustration and supervision of all building operations which he may undertake. * SECTION 16. A Member should so conduct his practice as to forward the cause of profes sional education and render all possible help to juniors, draughtsmen and students. FILING DEVICES.
