Synopsis
Excerpt from The Technograph, Vol. 31: November 1916
Engineering and agriculture are the two branches of education which have particularly to do with those activities of man which lead to his material welfare. Both the agriculturist and the engineer are constructive forces. Whatever they accomplish adds -to the wealth Of mankind. In this respect these professions differ from others.
It is a comforting thought that whatever we accomplish is Of a constructive nature, in Sharp distinction to being Of a destructive nature, and that the wealth Of the nation depends almost entirely upon the efforts Of such as we. When the, farmer produces more wheat or corn or cattle to the acre by reason Of his education, he thereby increases the wealth Of the world. When the engineer builds a bridge, or a trolley line, or develops a paying mine, he thereby becomes a constructive force and his efforts add to the material welfare Of the human race; The same cannot be said Of all other professions. If a lawyer wins an important case his client thereby Obtains an advantage, but it is at the expense of some other man's loss. The world at large has not profited by his brilliancy. SO there is no little comfort in the thought that when your ehorts are crowned with success, not only will you profit thereby yourselves, but you will leave the world the richer by reason Of your successful efforts.
