Abstract :
THE Study of Mentality in Industry, in which the Engineering Foundation has done some preliminary work, marks a new appreciation of the responsibilities which confront us. “Civilization as we know it today is due mainly to the engineer or applied scientist. As a profession, we are largely responsible for present conditions and therefore we should do our part in solving such problems as exist, and in helping to direct aright the tendencies of the day. We have a duty to ourselves to our profession, to society, and to our successor, — and we must perform it,” said George F. Swain, ex-president of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
