K M and so was given the opportunity of making a trip around the world. The courses there were modeled on those given in American schools and were taught in English. The use of a strange language, and the lack of familiarity with the objects they were studying, handicapped the students considerably. However, according to Professor Hermanns, they were quite up to American standards in their ability to acquire a theoretical knowledge of principles. After one year at the Universit Professor Hermanns was favored with an opportunity of transferring into the hinese Government Railroad Service. Being a man fond of outdoors, he readily exchanged the fairly solid comforts of a home in a treaty port for the less attractive, but more unusual, experience of conducting a survey for a new line of railroad. This railroad was to pierce a section ofland here- tofore unexploited, vshere foreigners, other than missionaries, were seldom seen. In spite of its isolation, life in such novel surroundings offered many adventures which unluckily are alforded few engineers, and the vsork itself was given a more interesting aspect by the numerous and varied obstacles that arose daily . Professor Hermanns novel experiences in China were terminated with one of the frequent record-breaking Hoods to which so many parts of that country are subjected. In this flood, the vsater height went above the traditions of a century. The water, covering nearly all of the villages for many miles around, ruined the recently-harvested crops, resulting in a famine affecting countless numbers. The damage done to the partially-constructed railroad necessitated the ex- tensive raising of grades and building of new bridges. VVhile this reconstruction work was in progress, Professor Hermanns' contract expired. Realizing that a renewal of his contract might mean the necessity of making a permanent home in China, he returned to America in 1911. Shortly after his return, his connection with Stevens as head of the newly installed Structural Engineering Department com- menced, and he has acted in this capacity to the present time. During the earlier part of this period, Professor Hermanns was engaged also in engineer- ing and contracting, principally in building, in New York City. Since 1918, all of his spare time has been taken up by real-estate interests. Lately, these have consisted in the development of a resi- dential tract in Westchester County. Stevens is fortunate in having in its Faculty a man who is a recognized leader in the struc- tural-engineering Held.
