Knight suggested that there was no inconsistency
between unionism and professionalism and that the professional
man in industry today is in the same position that
the craftsman was a century ago. He reminded engineers
that two of the strongest unions in America are among
professional men, referring to the American Medical Association
and the American Bar Association. Therefore,
the professionals should organize for collective bargaining
purposes.58
Several authors blamed the general public for the
lack of professional status accorded to engineers. Watson
saw a basic trend toward "anti-intelleetualism” as one
of the underlying causes. ^ Updegraff blamed the fact
that engineers unlike other professionals, are one step
removed from ministering directly to the people.
