N3 7 The Spirit of the New Technology HE spirit of the Institute should survive any change of place or circum- stance. It unfolds itself naturally from the basic thought set forth so clearly in Rogers' famous Objects and Plan of an Institute of Technology which forms the real charter of the Institute. The central idea is that of service and of service based on training in the art of being useful. The change to what is sometimes called the New Technology implies merely the necessary development of the old spirit due to new conditions. The outstanding features of the new, as contrasted with the old, are, first and most obvious, the en- larged facilities for scientific training in laboratories and lecture rooms, second, improved opportunities for social life amongst the students, third, the development of the idea of cooperation. The enlarged facilities for training correspond with the broadening scope of the professions with which Technology is directly concerned, and with the increasing importance and dignity of these professions in the life of the community. Tech- nology trains men from every state in the Union and from many foreign lands, and more and more will the progress of the world depend on men trained as Tech- nology trains them. The engineer or the architect of the future must be far more than a technical expert. He must be, in the best sense, a man of the world with a knowledge of and sympathy with his fellow men, and with power to cope with the innumerable human problems that present themselves in modern industry. It is htting, therefore, that in the New Technology far more attention should be paid, than in the old, to the social life of the student, and one of the most gratifying changes of conditions that have come from crossing the Charles is the beginning of the dormitory system and the erection of the Walker Memorial as a suitable center for social life. ' Not the least important, however, of the developments of the spirit of Tech- nology is the changing attitude towards other institutions. In the earlier and more struggling days of the Institute it was naturaluand proper that great stress should be laid on independence, and it is not surprising that there were occasional evidences of rigidity and of aloofness from the rest of the world. The New Tech- nology shows definitely in this respect an enlargement of spirit, for cooperation 1S one of its watchwords. This is shown, amongst other ways, by the plan of co- operation with I-Iarvard University, indicating Technology's attitude towards other educational institutions, and by the establishment of the School of Engi- neering Practice, involving close cooperation between the Institute and many great industrial organizations in different states of the Union. The spirit of Technology Enilarges as the scope of the Institute extends, but in its essence that spirit is ever e same. MQ Z, is
