MODERN INVENTION,
"There is no scientifie apparatus that cannot be misappliedj and to every advantage there is a corresponding drawback. The ear that relishes music is the more sensitive to discordant noise. Not until beauty is seen to be beaiitiful can ugliness he defined. To the extent that the engineer is a seientist, the use to which his discoveries shall he put does not concern him. But, it will be urged, the engineer on the human and commercial side designs and makes armaments for profjt. And if he does, shall he not be. credited with at least as muqh honesty of purpose as the politieian who declares war and orders the guns? These are matters that have nothing to . do with engineering per se, but with Man — the embodiment of creed and conscience. The engineer is in such matters exactly on a par with the rest of mankind." — English journal.
