Foreword . . . Pictured above is a western exposure viewing unit A of the new school. Progress is more than a mere Word. Within its full meaning lies the greatest accomplishments of world history. Without it, all would be futile . . . life indeed would be reduced to a mere shamble . . . nations would become decadent . . . cities would rust and crumble . . . It is fortunate that within the minds of great men, this word is uppermost in their thoughts. lt is more than just thoughts, it is an ever-present challenge . . . the challenge to go on to greater heights, to achieve that which to many seems just beyond reach . . . We at Lawrence Institute of Technology are fortunate indeed . . . privileged to have within our walls, men of great caliber, men willing to gamble on tomorrow's horizons . . . men who will go and go, that we may learn the full meaning of the word progress . . . Thus it is with pride that we direct not only our HL-Book, but our entire student bodyys attention to the community in which we will soon become a part of . . . a community already enhanced by the nationally famous Northland'7, by wonderful highways and more to come, with gracious homes of many progressive minded citizens . . . That we should become a part of this community is an honor . . . an honor that we shall endeavor to have returned to us when we have shown to those who are our new neighbors, the fullness of our being among them. We look forward to the time when we shall hear . . . You are no longer a portion of this community, but the heart of its wonderful progress . . . Six

FAITH OF THE ENGINEER I AM AN ENGINEER. In my profession I take deep pride, but with' out vaingloryg to it I owe solemn obligations that I am eager to fubill. As an Engineer, I will participate in none but honest enterprise. To him that has engaged my services, as employer or client, I will give the utmost of performance and fidelity. When needed, my skill and knowledge shall be given without reserf vation for the public good. From special capacity springs the obligation to use it well in the service of humanityg and I accept the challenge that this implies. jealous of the high repute of my calling, I will strive to protect the interests and the good name of any engineer that I know to be deserving, but I will not shrink, should duty dictate, from disclosing the truth regard, ing anyone that, by unscrupulous act, has shown himseb' unworthy of the profession. Since the Age of Stone, human progress has been conditioned by the genius of my professional forbears. By them have been rendered usable to mankind Nature's vast resources of material and energy. By them have been vitalized and turned to practical account tlze principles of science and the revelations of technology. Except for this heritage of accumulated experience, my ejorts would be feeble. I dedicate myself to the dissemination of engineering knowledge, and especially to the inf struction of younger members of my profession in all its arts and traditions. To my fellows I pledge, in the same full measure I ask of them, inf tegrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect, and devotion to the stand' ards and the dignity of our profession, with the consciousness, always, that our special expertness carries with it the obligation to serve humanity with complete sincerity.
