H A R R I S O FOREWORD From the dawn of history, Man has been molded by the Force governing the Age in which he lived. These Forces sent the Explorer forth to chart unknown seas, and later drove the Pioneer ever westward' to con- quer the Wilderness. Ours is the Age of the Machine, and the Staff of the I-Iarrisonian has kept this idea in mind in producing the Book which it now offers for your approval. G U R A T H E M E All Hail, King Steel! From the depths of the Earth comes the dark metal which the Scientist fashions into flashing structures mounting heavenward. Great is the Machine, but still greater is Man, its Master. We do not fear the Machine, it is but the Tool with which we build. All Hail, King Steel!
