Address

President of the Carnegie Foundation. We who labor in the preparation of men for the calling of the engineer feel a keen interest in your success and in your gift, and, for two reasons; first, because we have seen here an effort towards coöperation and unity, and we feel that progress is in accord with the spirit of the age. There could be no more fitting time to dedicate such a building as this, occupied and to be held by the engineering societies, than at the time of the meeting of a great peace conference. Secondly, we feel a great interest in this evidence of prosperity on the part of your societies, because it is a recognition of the dignity and of the value of the calling of the engineer.
