FOREWORD ROADLY speaking, the purpose of the school BRO of applied science is to give its students such a training as will enable them to attain the highest success in their professional careers, and at the same time to educate them so liberally that they may be well fitted for the private and social responsibilities that lie before them. With this end in view, our Alma Mater aims to combine a technological with a cultural education; her ideal is to produce professional leaders who at the same time shall be broadminded men. The world at large, unfortunately, knows but little of Undergraduate Technology, of the opportunities educational and social-which the Institute has to offer; and the need of a book which should be, in the best sense, descriptive of the School has long been felt by both alumni and undergraduates. The present publication contains information which it is hoped will be equally of interest to prospective students and to those who have just entered the Institute. |
