Any  Member  who  has,  for  a  continuous  period
of  ten  years,  been  in  good  standing  in  the
Institute  and  has  reached  the  age  of  seventy
years  or  has  been  compelled  to  retire  from  the
active  practice  of  architecture  because  of
physical  disability  may,  at  the  discretion  of  the
Executive  Committee  of  the  Chapter,  be
exempted  from  the  payment  of  dues,  and  retain
all  the  privileges  of  Membership  so  long  as  he
does  not  engage  in  any  other  profession,  busi-
ness or  trade;  but  no  Member  shall  be  entitled
to  such  exemption  from  Chapter  dues  because
of  any  similar  exemption  granted  him  by  the
Board  of  Directors  of  the  Institute.
Section  2.  Termination  of  Membership.
Termination  of  membership  in  either  Insti-
tute or  Chapter,  whether  by  resignation,  ex-
pulsion or  otherwise,  shall  automatically  ter-
minate membership  in  both.  All  interest  in
the  property  of  the  Chapter  or  of  the  Institute,
of  Members,  Associates,  or  Chapter  Mem-
bers, who  for  any  reason  cease  to  be  such,
shall  be  vested  in  the  Chapter  and  the  Insti-
tute, respectively,  as  their  interests  may  appear.
Section  3.  Resignations.
The  resignation  of  a  Member  shall  be  made
in  writing  to  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the
Institute  and  addressed  to  the  Secretary  of
the  Chapter  who  shall  then  promptly  submit
it  to  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Chapter
for  consideration.  After  consideration  by  the
Executive  Committee  of  the  Chapter,  unless  it
be  withdrawn,  the  resignation,  together  with


a  statement  regarding  the  Member's  financial
obligations  to  the  Chapter  and  such  further
comment  as  the  Executive  Committee  may
deem  desirable,  shall  be  promptly  forwarded
to  the  Secretary  of  the  Institute  for  official
action.  The  resignation  of  a  Member  may
not  be  considered  while  charges,  involving
discipline  by  the  Institute,  are  standing
against  him.
