Current Challenges in Civil Engineering: Annual Address at the Convention, Cleveland, Ohio, May 5, 1950

Perhaps the most important new activity of the American Society of Civil Engineers in the year 1958–1959 has been fund raising for the United Engineering Center. Fund raising for causes of interest and value to us is an American way of life. From the cradle to the grave, whatever our walk of life, our profession, our religion, we are almost continuously involved in the process of soliciting, collecting, distributing (or less often, receiving) money in the name of some worthy cause. So when money was needed we knew how and where to get it.
