Original dark blue cloth on boards, no DJ. Gilt spine lettering. One of the most valuable features of this volume is its indication that experience and authority point towards a decision which few undergraduates expect. As a result, it stimulates, in a novel manner, the clash of opinion which is the strongest incentive to thought. - Intro. Readings from recognized experts in various fields, on the subject of the relationship of their individual specialty to the education of engineers, including the noted "The Value of English to the Technical Man", by John Lyle Harrington. Harrington was at that time a distinguished engineer, designer of many iron bridges across the continent. - p. 75. Numerous bits of marginalia and some underlining, but all text is readable. Several P.O.N.s. 185 pp.
