1. ““The profession of industrial design in its brief career has developed a technique for analyzing the function of a product, and has set up standards for judging functional fitness. It has applied these methods and standards to innumerable objects ranging from domestic and office appliances to automobiles, ships and trains; and to industrial and commercial buildings, offices and shops, and the expositions in which industry explains itself to the public. It has set up a procedure which must be followed in devising housing that shall approximate our cars in efficiency and low cost; and developing a system of transportation whereby our planes, trucks, cars, highways and railroads can be coordinated into one smoothly functioning system for the distribution of goods and people, and in creating forms of community living which shall supersede the present unworkable town and city plan. * * * “The graduates from the universities, institutes and schools who will have scholastic degrees as Industrial Designers doubtless will be regarded as. professional men. It is paradoxical that petitioner and his present associates, now engaged in the field, who are lecturing in these courses and teaching these students, should be classified otherwise.””

The petitioner has lectured in many of these courses. He was a member of the Board of Design of the New York World’s Fair, representing Industrial Designing.””
