The activities of the Association showed, steady progress and after Professor Cable's term of office, Mr. Batley was elected President in 1921, and it was about this time, that members began to seriously consider an improvement in status of the Association. The word "Students" seemed inapt for a body that had now practising Architects within its fold and at a special General Meeting held on the 15th June 1922, the changes in the Constitution and Bye-Laws, were unanimously approved and in the 3rd ordinary meeting of the members on 3rd August 1922, Mr. Batley, President, announced the formal inauguration of the rechristened Association.
