T he fifteen present juniors, w ho have had the summer term work in forestry, have been accepted for work on the national forests in \\ v- ooungj Montana and Idaho. T h ey will report for duty J u ly 1st. T h is work will consist of running boun dary lines, timber estimating and mapping, with practical fire fighting and camp duty. T he men will re turn when college opens in the fall to take up the regular forestry work. T he present sophomores will take up the work of the summer term as set forth in the catalogue. After the work has been completed places have been secured for those w ho desire in local lumber camps and yards. Some of the present freshmen will report for duty with a tree expert company in Ohio July first for 1 hree months practical work along the lines of tree surgery and tree plant ing. These men will cover a large territory in a short time, as the work extends over Ohio, Ind., Illinois, and as far east as Massachusetts. More men are needed along this line of work, but only those will be accepted who have college records the average. Applications above should be made to the Forestry De partment. THE PROFESSION OF ENGI NEERING. Abstract from an address by Prof. G. F. Swain, Harvard University, before Section D of the American As sociation for the Advance ment of Science, Boston, Dec. 29, 1909. areas '<'<>nt i n u nl from ln-t w r e k .i Notwithstanding all these differ entiations, even the field of the civil engineer keeps on increasing in scope. Coasts have to be protected the sea, swamp and marsh from lands reclaimed, irri large gated by artificial means, requiring the construction of great dams, the storing of immense quantities of water and the distribution of that water by means of canals into the uplands. Problems of urban trans portation present themselves and must be solved by the construction of subways and tunnels, great rail road terminals have to be provided, and skyscrapers constructed. Also, the development of electri cal power, and the increasing scarci ty and waste of fuel, has increased enormously importance and value of water powers. T he ques tion of the discharge of rivers, the means of increasing it, storing it so from as to make it more regular the T he M. A. C. RECORD. month to month, thus avoiding the damage due to floods, and increasing the power during dry seasons, the construction of dams and of the various works incident to the de velopment of water powers, all these together with other problems now constitute a separate field, that of the hydraulic engineer. Water, at once the most valuable and neces sary of the gifts of nature, and at the same to be dreaded and feared, must be con trolled and governed, so that com munities may be supplied adequate ly with this necessity of life and the power generated by the rivers turn ed to the service of man. T he laws conduits, of water through pipes and in open channels, must be studied and experimented upon, and the science of the laws of water -hydraulics - is steadily in creasing in \ alue and in importance. time an enemy flowing in But the field of the engineer is not yet exhausted. T he increase in transportation bv sea, the use of steel for ships, and the ever-increas ing size of vessels, led to the pro fession of the , naval architect, itself a large Held, dealing with the appli cations of steel and other materials to the construction of vessels, and the proper equipment of these ves architect builds sels. T he naval the vessel, engineer equips them with machinery and provides them with ventilating and to fit other apparatus necessary them for their use. the marine Finally, investigations in the var ious fields of applied chemistry, as for instance in the production of gas, in the manufacture of rubber, soap, glue and other materials too numerous to mention, have led in recent years to the formation of still another branch of the profession, namely, that of the chemical engin eer, who deals with the applications of chemistry to the useful arts. To even enumerate the application of this science wrould tax your patience. It will be evident' from the fore going brief review, that the field of engineering is more extensive than that of any of the three so-called learned professions, and thatthe dif ferent branches of the profession differ from each to such an extent as in some cases to have little in com mon, except a knowledge of the gen eral principles of physics, chemistry, mechanics and other sciences. T he profession of the physician, it is true, is divided into many specialties, but while the throat specialists deals with the throat, and the stomach specialist with the stomach, they are all dealing with the human body, in which all the parts and functions are closely interconnected : but even within the field of what is termed civil engineering, the railroad engi neer and irrigation engineer, or the railroad engineer and the architec tural engineer, have little in com mon. Assuredly Tredgold was right when he said that the bounds of the profession are unlimited. zvhetlicr T he w o rk of the engineer as ap plied to any contemplated project consists essentially of four parts : anything first, to ascertain should be done, and if so, what should be d o n e; second, to design and formulate the means to be em ployed in doing i t; third, to select the proper materials ; and, fourth, to carry on the actual work into execu tion. As the engineer's problem is to adapt the materials, the forces, the sources of power in nature to the use and convenience of man, it is clear that in order to fill his call T he ing to the highest extent, the engi neer should be scientifically trained, and he should be familiar with the fundamental principles which gov ern natural phenomena. Different branches of science are required in . varying degrees in the different branches of profession, but every engineer should know, and know the fundamentals of thoroughly, physics, mathematics chemistry, and mechanics. engineer should be possessed of the true scientific spirit, loving the study of science for its own sake as w e ll as for its applications and trained to seek the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But the work of the engineer deals not with science for its own sake, but with its applications to the practical affairs of men. T he engineer must, there fore, be above all, a practical man. He must not be a pure theorist, a dreamer, a visionary. He must see in his mathematical formulae a meaning, and not a simple accumu lation of letters. T he engineer, then, must not only be a Scientific man, but he must be first and fore most a practical man. A nd on the important whole, the latter is more than the former, although it is in the proper combination of the two that the greatest excellence will re sult. T he engineer, unlike the true scientist or mathematician, does not work in his laboratory or his 'study ; his work is with the affairs of men.. Engineering is more than half busi ness, and the successful engineer, therefore, must be to a considerable finan extent a business man and a cier. As already remarked, the most important problem, and the first he has to solve, is whether anything should be done in a given case, and if so, what? T he engineer must not build a fine bridge with costly peculiarities, difficult to execute, for the sake of having a monument be hind him. He must continually re is not that engineering member simply adapting the forces of nature to the use of man, but that it is adapting them economically and properly. More important than the question furtu a bridge shall be built is the question zvhethcr it shall be built. More important than the ques tion how a railroad shall be located is the question whether it shall be locat ed and where it shall be located. T he decision of these questions requires financial and business ability of a high order, combined with a clear insight into t he practical relations of things. T he railroad engineer must study the manufacturing and eco nomic conditions affecting a country through which a proposed railroad is to p a s s; he must consider the traffic on existing roads through that importance country, of there the is a possibility of increasing the agricultural or manufacturing prod uct, whether the road should run in line be a comparatively tween two large towns or whether it should be diverted a number of miles in order to tap a smaller town, or -whether that smaller town should from the be reached by a branch main line ; and many similar ques tions. that Tredgold's definition is faulty because it does not emphasize economy. the relative cities, whether It is clear straight struction may be a good subordinate —and. even good subordinates, are rare—but he will lack the essentials of the highest success. Even after the construction, of •works is entered upon, the duties of the engineer will largely relate to business. He draws up the con tracts for the work, estimates each month how much has been com pleted, certifies pay-ments to the contractor, settles disputes and in general attends to all the business, except legal matters, connected with the carrying out of the enterprise. He must be an organizer, and must know how large a force is necessary- to superintend the work, and how- to dispose it to the best advantage and with the greatest economy. It is evident, also, and this is extreme ly the engineer that must be a student of men—not a re cluse, but a man among men ; and upon his social qualities, upon his ability to get oh tactfully with other men and his power of impressing his ideas upon others, will his suc cess largely depend. important, One of the most important func tions of the engineer is to be able to determine the proper materials to use in his work, to know h ow to them, and to know h ow to obtain assure himself that he has obtained them. T h is includes a function wide range of scientific and practi cal knowledge. He must not only know the mechanical, chemical and physical properties of materials, such . as building stones, timber, steel, iron, cement, paint, asphalt, etc., but he must know what particular material to the particular is best adapted w o rk he has to do, and h ow to test it and so make sure that the desired qualities are obtained. Probably morc engineering failures have been due to faults of material than to any- other defect, although it is a common mistake of students to suppose that the work of the engineer is largely the designing of works by the use of mathematical formulas. It is evident from the foregoing that not only is the profession of the engineer a wide and varied one, but that it requires varied qualifications, and demands pre-eminently an all- It must not be forgot round man. that without ten, however, the scientific training, or at least the scientific spirit, the engineer will not It is also attain the highest success. evident that the thoroughly trained and capable engineer will find many- opportunities to make himself use ful in scientific as well as in admin istrative positions. He willi also find many opportunities for doing general-public service to the state or nation.

T he W o m e n 's Club was the only other one that w as run at a less cost, that being $2.16 lowest per week, while the next cost w as maintained at Club " G ," which averaged $2.72 per week.
