Excerpt from Engineering Education Since the publication of this paper I have heard much comment upon it, and some parts of it have been most wilfully misunderstood. To me the scientific engineer should be a missionary of the highest order. Not, indeed, the kind of missionary which has justly come into disrepute through its presumption and arrogance; but the kind which teaches and labors faithfully towards the accomplishment of high aims.

At the foun dation of such great work lies the singleness of purpose of men devoted to their work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
