Education and the Profession: Annual Address at the Convention, Phoenix, Arizona, April 12, 1961

Despite the fact that the formal profession of civil engineering is more than 100 years old, it is youthful in heart and spirit. The profession may always point to the work of man in ancient times with justifiable pride, since in the ancient structures much of the history of man is written. History records that it took 200,000 men 20 years to build the Great Pyramid. It is classified today as an engineering structure. Yet, by today's standards, it would have to be called the work of labor. We are well aware of the magnificent buildings of Grecian and Roman times.
