The effect of war on young engineers inducted into industry

THE WAR is bringing to engineers and other college people a completely new set of experiences. The colleges themselves will feel the most immediate effects, and these are already indicated by the much-discussed speed-up plans, and by the plans for inducting young men into the Navy, the Signal Corps, and other branches of the military service. The trend in college education indicates that a large percentage of those young people who normally would come into industry in the next few years will be diverted into military channels, and a decreasing number will be available to industry.
