night at seven-thirty o'clock In room

Prof. Ira N Hollis of Worcester Tech,
and'Major Fied Miller, past-president

eers
Prof. Hollis laid especial emphasis
upon the fact that 'graduates of the

into the piofcsslon at .the bottom of
the ladder. “A man who has graduated
as an enginoei Is far from being an
englncei—yet lie must fhst serve Ills
apprenticeship 01 as Er. Elliot of Har
vaid put it, he' must cntci upon
novitiate It Is then fur hlin to become
an englncor A man who gives up
study > after his graduation, develops
cither into a routine man, or gives up
his profession foi something more re
munerative " Pi of Ilollis also brought
out the position of tho engineer in the
economic, social, and political life of
tho country, showing how all civiliza
tion rests upon the work of engineers
The other speaker. Major Miller,
spoke of the requirements of employers
In prospective employes "Out of a
great number of Inquiries sent out to
large employers of engineers, a laigc
percentage of them placed character
and reliability highest of all of the re
quirements. ‘Howfever, one must also '
be well versed in the knowledge of the
science of engineering"
Tho new officers elected for the
combined engineers of the college are:
Picsidcnt, A R. Boiden '22, Vice
president, S C. McCullum '22; and
Secretary. W C. Clough '22
