of being ad ■ dressed by mr farley osgood vice-president of the a 1 e e and vice-president and general manager of the public service electrical company of xew jersey mr osgood dwelt on engineers and engineering what is an engineer every college graduate when he has re ceived his diploma considers him self an engineer but he is not he has been taught in college that with which he is to find out what he does not know he has been taught how to attack problems this constitutes the professors half of a man's education the stu dent's half consists of learning how to conduct himself honestly and honourably among his fellow asso ciates accuracy is essential to the en gineer that is taught throughout the college course engineering must be conducted on an honest line this honesty constitutes be ing honest to oneself and to facts that lead to conclusions an en gineer to be successful must never jump to conclusion's which he is not able to understand never attempt to deceive superiors by improvable conclusions another essential of the engineer is the care of the body clear headedness honest work depends much upon one's physique to guard against breaking down one's health is a prominent factor the man entering into engineer ing has little idea of the troubles awaiting him even domestic trou bles of his associates and subordi nates enter into his affairs then there is a tendency for one labor ing under such troubles to get mad it is natural to get mad but if one gets to that state of madness that his judgment the concise judgment of the engineer is warped then his success as an engineer is limited the average engineering student does not realize the necessity and advantage of the department of lit erature of his college he must be able to educate to his associates in business the advantages of certain methods in order to retain his job from one having ability to exampli fy his thoughts to others what is engineering it is of ten quoted : ninety per cent for cents and the rest horse sense many enter into engineering be cause they are curious engineering arouses much curiosity to men not connected with this profession en gineering is sometimes complex and then again simple but never mys terious it is the solving of physi cal problems in the best possible manner it is horse sense the meeting was next addressed by o w eshbach 15 who read ex tracts from his paper hysteresis the discussion consisted in a comparison of the various methods of determining the magnetic prop erties of iron and steel giving a special and detailed description of

elects junior officers the y m c a meeting held last wednesday evening in drown hall was a fitting close to a success ful year of the affairs of that asso ciation rarely has one the good fortune of being able to hear a speaker of the calibre of the hon william h berry the clear forceful and in structive address made a deep im pression upon the listeners it showed a life of observation throughout his entire public career the subject of his address was life his address in part fol lows : — the speaker was introduced by prof j l stewart as a man of sound principles and judgment it is fatal for man to think him self better than those about him in the same manner it is also fatal for one to think himself beneath those about him thousands of wrecks strew the shores of time because man has held to one or the other of these principles the law of the jungle is the law of selfishness which repudiates the idea that man is descended from the jungle inasmuch as the law of human life is the law of unselfish ness and not the law of selfishness those who have won our hearts are the ones who have sacrificed themselves for the good of others by exhibiting that character of self sacrifice christ is the best exam ple of the unselfish man the simple story of the self sacrificing life of the saviour has a better grip now upon us than ever before in the history of the world if anyone falls by the wayside let him not blame it on heredity environment is also an impor tant factor in 1 life life is a process of making use of environment sir isaac newton benjamin franklin and thomas edison took advantage of their environment and rendered mankind great services many students looking at their environment become discouraged and feel that the chances of their making good are small this how ever is a mistaken idea for there never was a better opportunity to make good than at the present the sciences are still in their youth however the primary object in life is to become a man for what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul service is the great object of human life the inventor gains no satisfaction for the lucre he ob tains but the thought that his inven tions serve humanity is foremost the spirit of service is abroad in this land choose you this day who you will serve at the close of the speech pres ident d wynne gave a short sur vey of life at eaglesmere confer ence and requested that all who were able to attend should do so c s hill 17 rendered a piano solo upon the completion of the program refreshments were served sophomore officers
