Engineering literature a critical review of the tendencies in technical literature, with a statement of some of the problems of publication

IN a recent broad discussion of the problems of engineering colleges, Gano Dunn, past president of the Institute, speaking of the training which should be given students, said: “Ground them thoroughly in the English language, a lack of command of which in writing and speaking is the greatest single defect in the college training of most engineers. It is not enough for an engineer to be skilled; he must make his skill prevail, and the power and culture that come from familiarity with English are tremendous forces in the success of an engineer.”
