"

The month of May is a very important period in the university
year. In it instruction reaches its
conclusion and the best work of the
year ought to be done by the student. Nature conspires against
this purpose and the average student finds he must steel his heart
against its seductions if he is to
meet all his obligations. I am urging every student to do his hardest
work "for the remainder of the
year.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
College of Engineering of the University of Kentucky is nv
thirty-fiv- e
yearn old. During this jmriod there has gone into the induniii.i
world ninny Kcntuekiann who have risen to distinctive and directive pl.ie
in engineering fields.
The University has lxvn characterized time an
time again as the school in America that has trained more outstand n
engineers in the Held of heating and ventilation lhan nny other Anieiiia
school.
A great amount of the responsible work pertaining to telephone
Vv'lopment has been done by graduates of this University. In the ear
days of the College of Engineering many Kentucky men took up worl
immediately upon graduation with the Western Electric Company, th
manufacturing company of the telephone interests of the world, and as s
result many Kentucky graduates became eminent authorities in the vealn
of sound transmission.
In the railroad world also the Kentucky man has played an importan
part. One notable illustration is the successful design and application of
the superheater, which is the only device since Stevenson's time that has
added materially to the economy of the steam locomotive as a prime mover.
Practically every locomotive built now is equipped with this superheater,
largely the product of a Kentucky graduate.
The first example of the electrification of American steam railroads wa3
solved on the Pennsylvania between Philadelphia and Atlantic City by a
Kentucky graduate in engineering. A very important phase of industrial
life is-t- he
electrical industry. For a long time the graduates from the
University of Kentucky have become identified with the large electrical
machinery organizations and have rendered distinct service in the building
of machine tools.
This institution can point with great satisfaction to 'a
number of valuable machine tools that have reduced materially the cost
of production that have been designed and built by our men, while a new
branch of engineering known as air conditioning has been firmly established
largely through the efforts of Kentucky men.
In public utility engineering service likewise our engineering college
has furnished many notable servants. The company in America producing
the largest output of electrical energy for power, railway service, and light
is managed by a graduate of this University.
The science of bridge building, railway construction and maintenance has
been materially aided by Kentucky graduates. The field of highway and
municipal engineering owes much to the service that has been rendered by
engnieers who received their technical training here. From one end of
the country to the other there are many Kentucky engineering graduates
who are giving their talents to the intelligent handling of industrial pro
cesses, manufacturing almost every conceivable commodity for man's use
and comfort.
The University of Kentucky has established a college of engineering
quite distinct from any other technical school, in that more attention is paid
to the broader education of the engineer and every effort put forth to train
the man from the standpoint 'of his attitude toward his work, and at the
same time give him a sound foundation upon which to build his engineering
career when he becomes intimately associated with the problems of some
vigorous organization solving engineering problems. The country needs
young engineers endowed with the right spirit of cooperation and accomplishment more than it does technically trained men who are able simply
to solve technical problems. An engineer in order to rise to the greatest
height of usefulness must have both a technical training and a broad
sympathetic knowledge of human relationships coupled with an indomitable
spirit of work and achievement. The smart youngster just out of college
without that fine ability to immediately enter into the plan of service of
some company is a hindrance rather than a help to industrial progress

In the College of Engineering of the University of Kentucky a man
is taught to work hard and think straight.
Since the beginning of time there has never been opportunities so
great to fit all types of talents and temperaments as are provided by the
industrial life, the supreme element of that life being the creative engi

neer.
The engineer is not a materialist but a dreamer and a creator of the
rarest sort. The engineer builds upon Nature's truths, for it is only through
logical processes that he is able to present to humanity finished and useful
products. The engineer is an optimist because he is a builder. He lives
on the hopes and dreams and idealism of what is possible rather than on
contentment of what has been done. The engineer lives to utilize to the ut
most the forces and materials of the Creator that have been turned to him
for exalted use.
The engineer is a happy man because he has found that the real hap
piness in life comes from the rebound of hard work. It seems to me there
is no reason for asking the question "Why be an engineer," for the .engineer
has at his command all the creative problems of this planet and in the
solution of these defiant mysteries he can find a greater exercise for the
imagination than can be found in any other realm of human interest.
