The  Life-work  of  the  Mechanical 
Engineer. 

the 

importance  of 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Elec 
trical  Club,  Prof.  Diemer  delivered 
an  address  full  of  interest  for  the 
mechanical  engineer. 
In  his  prefatory 

remarks,  he 
the 
dwelt  on 
engineer's  taking  an  interest  in  the 
general 
industrial  and  commercial 
world,  as  well  as  in  purely  technical 
matters. 
It  is  distinctly  within  the 
engineer's  province  to  further  the 
cause  of 
development. 
His  life  work  is  not  limited  to  the 
a nd 
designing  of  cams,  p a w ls 
ratchets.  T he  greatest 
engineers 
have  been  men  that  have  had  wide 
enough  public  spirit  to  realize  what 
problems  needed  to  be  solved  in  the 
course  of  development  of the  human 
race.  T he  realization  of  a  definite 
in  hand  has  been  the  in 
problem 
spiration, the solution  of  the  problem 
depending  upon 
the  determination 
and  education  applied  to  it.

for 

Let  us  glance 

instance  at 
George  Westinghouse.  T he  secret 
of  his  success  is  that  he  sees  what 
things  are  needed  in  the  industrial 
to  their 
world,  and  applies  himself 
perfection.  He  announces 
to  his 
designers  what  it  is  that  he  wants 
them 
is 
such  that  if  they  do  not  make  the 
progress  he  thinks  they  should,  he 
will  get  to  work  at  the  problem 
himself,  and  solve  it. 

to  devise,  and  his  ability 

T h at  school  of  engineering  will 
be  the  most  successful  that  impresses 
upon  its  students  the  importance  of 
this  ability  to  see  what  is  needed, 
the  problem  with  a 
and 
determination  that  means  its  solu 
tion. 

to  meet 

A  few  weeks  ago Professor  Men-
denhall  retired  from  the  presidency 
of  Worcester  Polytechnic  Institute, 
honored  as  an  engineer  and  a  states 
man.  He  began  as  an  instructor  at 
Ohio  State  University  when 
that 
institution  was one  of  the feeblest  of 
the  agricultural  and  mechanical  col 
leges.  Although  he  held  an  inferior 
position  there, evidences  remain  that 
he  did  much 
towards  broadening 
the  spirit  of  the  institution. 

Soon 

His  opportunity  came,  however, 
in  the  acceptance  of  a  professorship 
in  J a p a n,  where  his  interest  in  the 
general  development  of  that  coun 
try  was  recognized,  and  he  was 
the  arbitrators  of  the 
made  one  of 
Behring  Sea  Seal  Fisheries  discus 
sions. 
afterwards  he  was 
made  head  of  the  U.  S.  Coast  and 
Geodetic  Survey,  and  in  this  posi 
tion  not  only  showed  splendid  ex 
ecutive  ability,  but  invented  person 
ally  several valuable  pieces  of  mech 
anism.  As  president  of  Worcester 
Polytechnic  he  showed 
the  same 
combination  of  qualities  so  essential 
to  the  successful  engineer,  namely, 
attention  to  detail  combined  with  a 
wide  knowledge  of  commercial  and 
industrial  life. 

A  study  of  the  work  of  such  men 
is  convincing  testimony  to  the  fact 
that  the  successful  engineer  is  the 
one  that  possesses breadth  of  knowl 
edge  as  well  as depth  of  knowledge. 
It  has  been  claimed  that  the  en 
gineering  student  has  too  much  to 
learn  within  purely  technical 
fields 
to  permit  him  to  devote  any  time  to 
In  reply  to  this  I 
general  interests. 

most  unhesitatingly  assert 
that  a 
good  engineer's  technical  work  will 
not  be  harmed,  but  on  the  contrary, 
will  be  improved  by  an  infusion  of 
world-spirit. 

Psychologists  assert  that  it  is  not 
continued  thinking  along  one  line 
that  best  develops  the  brain  centers, 
but  repetition  of  thought  with  alter 
nated  periods  of  relaxation  during 
which  other  activities  should  be  ex 
ercised. 

Prof.  Diemer  discussed  at 

length 
the  topographic  and  climatic  influ 
ences  favorable 
to  the  utilization  of 
water  power  in  the  Southern  states 
and  gave  a  number  of 
examples 
and  statistics  showing  the  remark

able  progress  made 
within  the  past  few  years. 

in  this 

that  instructors  in  this  line  need  not 
be  practical  men.  T he  result  is  that 
in  many  schools,  more 
especially 
manual  training  schools, the  instruct 
or  of  wood-work  is  not  able  to  do 
himself  the  things  he  must  teach  the 
students  to  do.  M r.  Bradford

fied  by  the  growth  and  general  ac 
ceptance  of  the idea  that  an  instructor 
of  wood-work  must  be  a  practical 
mechanic  in  addition 
to  his  other 
qualifications.  A  competition  open 
to  the  most  proficient  mechanics  in 
the  country,  to  which  instructors  in 
said  schools  would  be  especially  in 
vited,  would 
in  M r.  Bradford's 
opinion  best  serve  the  end  desired.

is  often  made 
that  the  number  of  'all  r o u n d'  men 
in  the  mechanical  trades  is  decreas

accompanied  by  an  expression  of 
regret  for  existing  conditions  in  this 
respect,  together  with 
the  plea— 
particularly  in  the  case  of  those  who 
claim  to  have  the  interests  of  the 
many  at  heart—for  the  maintenance 
of  a  broader  knowledge  of  allied 
trades  on  the part  of skilled  workers.

asked,  H ow  may  we  promote  ' all-

to  this  ques 
tion  is  to  be  found  in  part,  in  my 
opinion,  in  competitive  trials.  I  sug 
gest,  and  I  am  prepared  to  enlarge 
upon  the  desirability  of  competitive 
trials  between  all-round  skilled  men.

T he  Stereopticon 

in  the  Lecture 

Room. 

Last  Tuesday  afternoon  Dr.  Beal 
gave  a  lecture  to  his  class  of  juniors 
in  Forestry,  and  illustrated  his  talk 
with  stereopticon  slides.  Nearly  all 
the  slides  were  made  from  photo 
graphs  of  actual  scenes  in  the  north 
ern  parts  of  the  State,  and  had  been 
secured  by  the  department  at  con 
siderable  expense  and 
labor.  By 
means  of  the  stereopticon  it  is  pos 
sible  to  reproduce  such  photographs 
on  canvass  with  all  the  character 
istics  of  nature,  and  make  them  ex 
ceedingly  instructive  to  a  class. 
It 
is  hardly  possible 
to  overestimate 
the  great  value  of  the  stereopticon 
for  such  work. 
It  is almost  as satis 
factory  as  being  able  to  view  the 
various  specimens  and  conditions  in 
their  natural  element. 
In  the  study 
of  Forestry  it  is  quite  safe  to  say 
that  a  class  can  secure  as  much  prac 
tical 
life-
sized  reproductions  as  would  be  pos 
sible  to  secure  with  days  of  travel 
and  much  hard  work.  T he  stere 
opticon  adds  much  practical  value  to 
lectures 
illustrated  by  its  use  not 
only  in  Forestry  but  in  other  de 
partments,
