The 1933 COLUJVIBIA ENGINEER PREPARATION FOR OPPORTUNITY KCOnz'inzzez1 from page 33j a year's apprenticeship he was given a good job that caused much jealousy. ln five years he was no longer with the company and in not as good a job. ln spite of the evil forebodings of some people we must not think the world is about to end. Dr. Mer1'iam, President of the Carnegie Institute of VVashington, recently traced the development of civilization from early geological periods. Over that length of time the present terrible trends and variations were microscopic. Read history and you will find that there have been many periods almost exactly like this and some worse and in every case they were followed by a good period. We should remember that we have in this country alone an enormous natural wealth, more food on the farms than we need, plenty of coal, oil, copper and other raw materials. We have plenty of labor capable of putting these raw materials into a useful form, a labor willing to work, and millions of people desiring these products and willing to work for them. All we need is a common sense scheme, a coordination of activities or in one word a sensible general manager and we could all be comfortable and happy even without money. In this scheme there is oppor- tunity for all and particularly for the engineer who has an appreciation of business. INTROSPECTION fCo1zfinued from page 372 to that which existed forty years ago. No one knew at that time what the electric industry would mean to the world, what bodily comfort and increase in culture would result from it, nor what social problems it would develop. If the engineer is to be blamed for any of the troubles that this industry has produced, his fault is that of not taking the public into his confidence, and demonstrating not only the advantage of the new industry, but the dangers and evils that might arise. No informed man would have the hardihood to prophecy what will happen during the next period that you will face, but that a new period has begun today there is no doubt. We who look back on the generation that has passed look back with regret at the mistakes and misunderstanding that have occurred but with the joy of real accomplishment. VVe wish for you similar tribulations but the same joy through even greater accomplishments. DIGGING IN fC07lfiNllFd from page 392 Well, what of it? just this,-in making our own decisions we need to be more sure than we have been that all the important factors have been taken into account. Engineers especially need a wider outlook upon, and a deeper understand- ing of, what happens as a result of what they do. And so the end of college is not an ending of a period of laboring to understand why things are so, but the begin- ning of the acceptance of responsibility for the effects of what we are doing. Most of you are eager to accept responsibility, but to bear it safely involves digging in your toes. As' miners you are elected to dig in the ground, but do not overlook that you are also digging into the fabric of human life. Keep the back well timbered. Fifty-six

The 1933 COLUMBIA ENGINEER ACKNOWLEDGMENTS IIE EDITORS wish to express their appreciation for the generous financial support of the Engineering Alumni Association and of the Facultyg for the several articles Written by members of the Facultyg for help, advice, and time given by Dean Barker and Professors Harrington, Krefeld, and Ready for the assistance fur- nished by Mrs. -Iones and Miss Curtisg for the Art Work of Burleigh Boydg for the excellent photographic Work of White Studiog and for the friendly cooperation of M1'. Silvers of The Silvers Company. 'USSR' RELATION OF GEOLOGY TO ENGINEERING KCOI1fI7ZZlFzJ from page -Nj real information must be secured. Guesses are not made. Conclusions are drawn and opinions are given. but they are all based on facts and logical interpretation. The cleverest practical geologist is one who can deal with these matters in the most rigid and accurate Way, reproducing for his own understanding the original steps by Which the conditions or formations in question came to be. This is a very matter-of-fact program despite the occasional use of the liveliest sort of speculation, trying out every imaginable explanation until all known condi- tions are satisfied. From this angle the Work of the geologist is not essentially dif- ferent from the Work of his associate, the engineer. When their Work is finished, it must fit into a very matter-of-fact World with requirements over which they have no personal control. If the Work is done in understanding of the processes that have governed in the past, and if plans are laid in full accord with determined facts, it is likely to be a success. But if anything of importance is missed, or if the interpreta- tions are wrong, or if the methods used do not measure up, the whole effort may be worse than Wasted. You would think that these stern demands Would discourage everyone from entering such a field. It would, anyone but an engineer or a geologist. QUALITY SERVICE EQUITABLE HAND WITT DRUG Co.
