Abstract :
I FEEL that it is not necessary for me to apologize to you tonight when I say that I am going to be very brief. The hour is so late, and so many weighty matters have been presented to you tonight by the eminent gentlemen who have spoken to you, that I am quite sure what I have to say can be put before you in a very brief time. I think that the present status of the engineer is quite satisfactory when we find on our platform tonight two engineers who are now presidents of two of our great corporations in this country.
