  • Victorian Institute of Engineers (1883 - 1949)

    'A milestone in the history of Australian engineering societies was reached this year when the Victorian Institute of Engineers, that was founded in 1883, realised that because of a falling membership it was no longer able to carry on as a separate entity. Schemes for amalgamation with The Institution were discussed and eventually, the Institute decided to go into voluntary liquidation. The assets of the Institute have been made over to The Institution and those members of the Institute who are eligible are being admitted to The Imtitution without payment of an entrance fee. Those who are ineligible for membership of The Institution are to be granted certain privileges such as the right to attend meetings and to receive publications but will not be Members of The Institution. As the members of the Victorian Institute of Engineers were predominantly mechanical engineers, a Mechanical Branch has been formed in the Melbourne Division to cater for their needs as well as for mechanical engineers who were already members of the Division. The former Secretary of the Institute has accepted the Honorary Secretaryship of the new Branch, and as the meetings will be conducted in the Institute's old meeting place, the members of the Institute in becoming members of The Institution will bring with them and maintain for a long period the traditions and prestige acquired by the Institute during its long history', p.1
