Abstract :
GROUND-BREAKING ceremonies for the United Engineering Center, a multimillion dollar, 18-story structure to be erected opposite the United Nations in New York City, were held Thursday, October 1, 1959, at 11:00 a.m. Former President Herbert Hoover, representing the older generation of engineers, shared earth-turning honors with a freshman engineering student from Hawaii, Jerry Fujimoto, who represented engineers of the future.
