llniuersilij — Faculty Enqineering and Progress t; Dean McCu ' HE last century has witnessed an unprecedented material prosperity which has made possible ideal living conditions and, by nieans of invention, has relieved man of the burdens that oppressed humanity for ages. These elevating influences have been made possible by the united efforts of the scientist, the inventor, and the engineer, the engineer directing the sources of power in nature revealed by science and invention. Engineering as an art goes back to a time before authentic history, as is evidenced by the won- derful structures still extant. Time, money and eco- 1 L W nomic considerations were of little moment in building these structures. In the modern world, however, q uite ■1 different conditions have varied the procedure. Money, time and efficiency control every activity. The engineer of today, trained in mathematical re- search and knowing the properties of materials, is able to compute stresses and to proportion accurately all members of a structure, thus avoiding waste and excess expense. What a thorough training does this not require of the engineer, a training that includes a knowledge of science and mathematics, pure and applied. And, too, what a debt of gratitude must not the world owe the engineer, who leads the industrial progress of the world, who makes possible commercial intercourse between widely separated sections, who devises methods for the development of untilled areas, and who, in the busy centers of population, originates methods for the relief of traffic congestion, for the improvement of sanitation, and for the general betterment of civic conditions. The steady growth of the College of Engineering at Notre Dame has been notable and today the College ranks as one of the foremost. This record may be attrib- uted to the characteristic thoroughness of training of the Faculty of Engineer- ing. The course of studies outlined for the student embraces not only purely technical studies but also the cultural subjects that make for the best success in life. Confident that the progress of Notre Dame will continue, we behold at no very distant time a greater Notre Dame still leading the way to nobler ends. Young men, trained in the truest sense, will return to a turbulent world and become leaders in every field. The greater Notre Dame will continue to give to the world men whose nobility of character will be an inspiration and whose achievements will be a benediction. Deon of Engineering lhirtf4-lwo
