Symposium on “the status of the engineer”

THIS TOPIC is now so wide that there is no difficulty in discussing it from one´s own particular point of view and in line with any individual interest and experience. The danger lies in dealing with so broad a subject from too limited and narrow a point of observation. It is doubtless from a full realization of this danger that those responsible for the program tonight have brought men together in this discussion from so many different positions and varied experiences in life. Having announced my apprehension regarding the narrow view of this broad question, I feel at perfect liberty to proceed to take such view, if only to make good my prediction.
