THE INSTITUTE Fortune has favored the Institute in many ways. It is located in a great me- tropolis and probably the greatest industrial city of the nation. Our students, as well as members of the faculty, have opportunities of keeping in intimate touch with up-to-date engineering practice that do not come to those less favorably- situated. There is not a day of the y-ear but what may be seen in this wonderful city almost any kind of engineering in any phase of development, every type of building in any stage of construction, and the manufacture of the different utili- tarian products contributing to twentieth century civilization. While we recog- nize that Chicago in itself is a wonderful laboratory and offers unusual advantages, we are also cognizant of the fact that it is our own laboratories and shops that pro- vide the preliminary training to prepare our boys to fully appreciate these oppor- tunities. A college of engineering is the most expensive kind of an educational institution to maintain, and new equipment must be provided each year in order to keep pace with modern engineering practice. It is to the magnanimous generosity of Mr. J. Ogden Armour that we are in- debted for the privilege of being allowed to improve our facilities each year, and with this assured material encouragement how can we refrain from looking into the future with the hope and confidence of great achievement?
