History 1 began with the age of the soldier and for thous- ands of years the military leader dominated the earth. Tlien followed the age of the Philosopher and the Theologian, when the greatest minds were busy in propounding systems of philosophy and theology. Following these came the age of the pioneer and the discoverer, during which vasts portions of the earth hitherto unknown to man. were discovered and made available tor his habitation. We have now come to the AGE OF THE ENGINEER, who has evolved from the pioneer and the discoverer. He is the master of the sciences and he it is, who makes practical application of these sciences to meet the needs of our modern life and civilization which, during the last century, have in- creased enormously in their complexity. He provides transportation by building roads, and railroads. He designs and constructs locomotives, automobiles, and aeroplanes. He has constructed the telephone, the telegraph and the radio, and is continually increasing their usefulness and eflSciency. The engineer brings pure water into our homes and which formerly befouled our streets. In this way he has made it possible for men to live in large cities with safety. He lights our homes and our cities. He turns running water into power and makes it possible to use it hundreds of miles away. His services are essential in the construction and operation of all industrial plants. The School of Engineering at State College has for its purpose the preparation of men for efBcient service in this AGE OF THE ENGINEER. This School embraces the Departments of Architectural, Ceramic, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Highway, Mechanical and Mining Engineering, and the Engineering Experi- ment Station. The college has continuously increased its emphasis on engineering educa- tion for the young men of the State and has been largely instrumental in bringing about the recognition of Engineering as a learned profession. The School of Engineering is larger and more completely equipped and teaches more students than the combined engineering departments of all other institutions in the State. Our students live and work in an engineering atmosphere, where every daily association is helpful, in that it keeps the prospective engineer in constant touch with those things that pertain to his work. In a word. State College is the center from which go out most of the men trained to supply the engineering industries of the State. The location of the college is especially favorable for the study of engineering. Raleigh, besides being the Capitol and having the several State Departments, including the State Highway Commission, the State Board of Health, and other important State institutions, is a rapidly growing city marked by unusual developments in residential, commercial and municipal construction, which afford excellent opportunities for observa- tion and study. Tliere are in the vicinity commercial chemical plants, woodworking plants, railway shops, machine shops, cotton mills, and other manufacturing industries. Raleigh is also the center from which electric power is distributed to a large section of the State. A large transformer sub-station adjoins the campus, from which high tension lines carry electrical power in every direction. In addition to a splendid steam plant within the city, hydro-electric and steam-electric plants are within easy reach on the Cape Fear River. The many important highways entering Raleigh are very valuable for the observ ation and study of construction use, and maintenance of roads. N [27]
