註釋On matters concerning the RIBA, especially the work of fostering international relations between architects by the election of eminent foreign architects as Honorary and Corresponding Members of the Institute and by selecting a foreigner (in alternate years) for the award of the Royal Gold Medal. Also includes the following topics; organisation of the Institute's collection of casts and models; the fund for commissioning portraits of past presidents of the Institute; the transfer of shares in the Architectural Union Company; thought the Council should congratulate William Tite on his knighthood as the honour was `at last a recognition that the architectural profession has as much claim to distinction as the civil service and the military'; thought the RIBA should do something about the continuing rejection by the Royal Academy of good architectural drawings [for exhibition]; in connection with the dispute between E.M. Barry and the Office of Works over the ownership of the drawings for the new Houses of Parliament, guotes the opinion of `my old master' Sir Robert Smirke that drawings belonged to the architect.
