152 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 101

through examinations taken in another State or political sub-
division of the United States, the District of Columbia, or a
foreign country or province, shall be granted a certificate of
registration as a registered architect by the Examining Board
in its discretion, upon the following conditions:

(1) That the applicant is of good moral character.

(2) That the requirements for registration or licensing of
architects in the particular state, territory, District of Co-
lumbia, foreign country, or any other political subdivision of
the United State or province were at the date of license
or registration, in the opinion of the Examining Board, sub-
stantially equal to the requirements then in force in the
State of Maryland.

(3) That said applicant has taken and qualified in another
state an examination which in the opinion of the Examining
Board is equivalent to that required for similar applicants
in this State; if, however, such applicant has taken an exam-
ination in another state on subjects which are the equivalent
of that required in the State of Maryland, but has failed to
take an examination on other subjects required for admission
to practice in the State of Maryland, he may at the discre-
tion of the Examining Board be granted credit on the ap-
proved examinations and be required to be examined only
on the subjects in which his original examination was de-
ficient.

(d) Exempted Applicants. All citizens of Maryland ap-
plying for registration on the basis of exemption on account
of having been engaged in the profession of Architecture
under the title "Architect" as a principal, for a livelihood,
at the time of the passage of this sub-title, 21 years of age
and of good moral character, provided that any such person
shall register within one year from June 1, 1935.

The Examining Board shall have power to issue licenses
for practice as architects to those found to have the proper
qualifications to practice, and to revoke or suspend said li-
cense for any violation of the provisions of this law.

Any person applying for registration, who is twenty-one
years of age and of good moral character and who has satis-
factorily completed a four-year course of architecture in any
recognized day or night school in the City of Baltimore or
in the State of Maryland, and who has served five years in
the contracting business, either in an office or in the field,
shall be registered without examination and shall be entitled
to practice with all the rights and privileges of a licensed
architect, under the provisions of this law.
