l Ira N. Hlollis, preidet of Wres-"
jter Polytechnic Institute, told fresh-
mznah engineers yesterday mrning in
;" their' regtaar class meeting that the
en01nering profession is of vast im-
port nce to ,the country.
In comenting _on the value of th-
engineer's work to the: nation, here-
ferred to the engineering feats A.hicja
t~ were performed in Egypt ani Baby-
lo"db in the pre-Christian era, and
which:,,, re greatly responsible for
the ivilizations of these countries.
As a portion of their irrigation sy-
tem, the Babylonians constructed a
waterway with the same cross-section
i as the P6np1a anal and four ties
Z s lontg, _'is project was successful-
ly coml ,1 with only a small frac-
tion of t Pools used by modern en-
gineersze
The tis.also constructed a
canal. more than 00 miles long ii
thie territory east of the Nile river.
By .means of a branch of this water
system they succeeded in draining
more than 600 square milles of swampl
ladn speatking further in Egyp-
tian eng ner g, President Hollis a-
cibed the"c stuction of the y-
rids to .the benevolent action of the!
government, in providing employment
torpeople who. were driven from the
banks of tl Nle to the back coun-
try by the yearly floods. During the
sumhmer,,periods of more then 20 years,
tPie goernment employed 100,000 men
Inthe pyramid construction. The
magnitude ,o organization for such
a projet is realized when it is com-
pared :t" the Panama canal construc-
tion w ch used the srvices of 35,000
menhe pointed out.
Before going. to Worcester Poly-
technic,.Institte President Hollis was
at Harvard university.for 20 years as
prof es~vir f, englneering. For nearly
the samel iegtl1 of time he served in
the Uited States navy. The. early
poirtion.f 1hi naval career was spent
in the compa~y of Dean Morimer E.
Cooley of :the Engineering college who
was, a clasmate of President Hfollis
at Annapolis.
"The advantages and Disadvantages
of Groving .Rubber in. the Philip-
pines," written by Alex Muzzall,.'15,,
recently appeared in the news letter'
published by the division of investga-
tion of the Philippine bureau'tf,-fd-,
etry.
The article says that a rubber
plantation in. the Philippines can be
brought into bearing for at least half
the amount spent in Sumatra and the
region of the Federated Malay states,
and that the cost of production is just
as low. A disadvantage, so .far, as
the large American rubber companies
are concerned, is the fact that no de-
finite time has been set when the Is-
lanids will be given their independ-
ence.
