Speaks to Freshmen on Chicago's Col-
lege Critic.
Dean Mortimer E. Cooley addressed
the freshman engineers yesterday
morning at their weekly assembly, on
? R. T. Crane's pamphlet, "The Futility
of the Technical Schools." Prof. Cool-
ey pointed out the fact that the editor
of the pamphlet was a college man and
was being paid'a high salary by Crane
for it.
"One of insinten," said Dean Cooley,'
"that Mr. Crane classes with Edison
and Westinghouse as a great engineer
who has achieved success without a col-
lege education, J. R. Sprague, was one:
of my classmates at Annapolis in the
class of '78."
Prof. Cooley pointed out several oth-
er glaring fallacies in Mr. Crane's ar-
guments against the Technical schools.
