G9OUT'CGlEU l H899 Resoureefulness is the quality that enables its possessor to make the most of his opportunities, to do the right thing i11 emergencies, and to avert disaster by good judgment and presence of mind. In Engineering' and Business it is the resourceful man who will always be found in the lead. He takes advantage of an opportunity before those ai-opml him know of its existence. It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in Engineering, Business, and every pursuit of life. Human knowledge is but an aecumula- gp W tion of small facts made by sueeessive gen- ' A- -.,,,I erations of men, the little bits of knowledge ' , fig and experience treasured up and placed ' . in 11ew eomhinations by the resourceful. is A Though many of these facts and observa- tions seemed, in the first instance, to have 3 but little significance, they are all found to T have their uses and fit in their proper places. s 1 ,r F ln the case of the conic sections discovered E by Appolonius, twenty centuries elapsed he- Q . - - l tore they were made the basis ot astronomy. .

To the resourceful, nothing is insignifi- eantg even accidents and failure are but stepping-stones and guide-posts to greater achievements and success. The greatest mis- fortune that can befall a young man is to lean on others for support while his char- aeter is forming. The oak that stands alone to contend with the blast of the storm only takes deeper root and stands the firmer for succeeding conflicts. So it is with men. Those who are trained to resoureefulness are ready to go out and contend with the stern- est conflicts of life. The storms of adversity are sure to come. Resourcefulness is never found in the company of idleness, but thrives upon neces- sity and hard work. +72 G. G. Niehous Head of Civil Department Y 'Cf'

tQ Prof. John Humphries, B. S. in M. E. Prof. Milford E. Collins, B. S. in E. E. Mdfh6l7IdfiFS, Mecfozmirs Maifaefmzfics, Mechanics Our individual responsibilities towards other indi- viduals and society, also, our responsibilities as groups towards other groups, as well as towards other individ- uals, knit the whole human race into one large family. -Professor Humphries. Man is educated in two ways: First, in the school ot' experience which all men attend, and second, in the in- stitution of learning which few attend. The individual who has obtained an education in an institute of learn- ing is capable of making a broader use of his education obtained in the school of experience.-Professor Collins. Prof. Verne Jones, A. B., A. M. Mathemcztics and Mecfomzifs Prof. William C. Overton, B. S. in M. E., M. E Dwzfzfing The extent of a man 's education may be measur- ed in terms of attitudes. Although his training may be highly specialized, or of such at nature as to in- clude factual information on a variety of subjects, his education is not complete until he has acquired discernment, open-mindedness, and moral courage. -Professor Overton. The object of education in recent years is ef- ficiency, which means power to accomplish. It pre- supposes a good degree of intelligence, but it goes beyond that. Knowledge without the ability to ap- ply or use it leaves one theoretical, which is a term of reproach.-Professor Jones.
