Dean Anderson REDKRICK PACI ANDERSON, tli| head, heart, and soul of the Engineering College, is responsible for one of our state’s best products—the Kentucky engineer. This man of undying interest and boundless enthusiasm conceived, founded and built up to its present efficiency the University of Kentucky's Engineering Col- lege. He sends each year into the commercial world a group of men trained not only in the technique of their profession, but in principles of right thinking, love of truth, and human engineering. Most of all, he instills into his students some of his own wonderful personality, so that they go forth full of the spirit of uplift, energy’, and enthusiasm that spells success. Engineers are the builders of the world. It is to the engineer that humanity looks for protection against the elements, for safe transporta- tion on land and sea, and for the production of many necessities of life. If this be true, then how much greater than the engineer is his maker? Dean Anderson is a maker of engineers. 20
