MINING ENGINEERING paleolithic man, mining the Hints which were the mineral wealth of civilization some 450,000 years ago, might be called the early predecessor of the modern mining engineer. Mining engineering has since that time been characteristically based on a continued and increased application of tfie principles of basic science and funda mental engineering knowledge to the problems involved in obtaining mineral wealth. Ore winning technique and ore (hiding technique have improved along with the demands ol an ever growing industrial world to the extent that more ore has been mined in the twentieth century than in all previous history. The mining engineer leads the way by supplying raw materials for other branches of industry- In times of war, mining engineers are called upon to bend every effort to the finding and supplying of numerous strategic raw materials required lor an ever hungry military machine. Mining, petroleum, and mine geological engineering curricula are based on the needs involved in winning ores and solid fuels, developing and producing liquid fuels, and the scientific discoveiv of these materials. Class room and laboratory work is further clarified by inspections of important mining or petroleum operations available comparatively close to t he school. Mining engineering graduates are to be found in all con nines and states, wherever mining activity exists. As in all oilier branches oi engineering or industrial work, much depends upon the man— how hard he works and studies, how carefully he plans his personal cam- paign lor success, and how well he succeeds in getting along with bis fellow- workers.
