The Engineer in Building for Peace

Publication: Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers
Volume 112, Issue 1

Abstract

Past-President J. C. Stevens, in his Annual Address in 1945, expressed the view that “The engineer will play a most important role in the revitalization of the world for peacetime pursuits.” How many of the members of our Society today remember that most important statement? I am going to take it up and press forward with it now, two years after it was spoken, in an endeavor to direct attention to the tasks which to my mind are the most important that have ever been given to any people.
