Abstract
Forum papers are thought-provoking opinion pieces or essays founded in fact, sometimes containing speculation, on a civil engineering topic of general interest and relevance to the readership of the journal. The views expressed in this Forum article do not necessarily reflect the views of ASCE or the Editorial Board of the journal.

Acknowledgments
The authors appreciate the support of Marie Sayre-Cole and Clifford Sayre, the children of Rose Morton-Sayre, who provided the herein given biography of their mother and the photographs. Bertrand Grossman, a nephew of William Haberman, is acknowledged for his kind assistance and the portrait. Finally, the librarians of EPFL (in particular Mr. Julien Tanari) gave an outstanding support in searching “untraceable” literature.
