JOINT MEETING OF ENGINEERS 167 



The actual achievement of today, at which we rejoice and which 

 posterity will utilize, must be credited to the enthusiastic cooperation 

 owing to the scientific and engineering skill of many workers in the 

 background whose names are not familiar to the public as well as to 

 those who are well known. The union and permanent friendliness 

 of all branches of the English-speaking race, now let us hope more 

 firmly established than ever, is an asset of incalculable value to the 

 whole of humanity. Let no words of hostility be ever spoken. 



Chairman Page: Gentlemen, you have heard the motion proposed 

 by General Carty and seconded by Sir Oliver Lodge. I now put it to 

 the joint meeting. Those in favor. Contrary. Carried unanimously. 

 I suggest, Mr. Gherardi, that we now adjourn the meeting. I feel that 

 it has been eminently successful and that we should regard it as the 

 forerunner of many more to come. 



President Gherardi: Mr. Page, before we adjourn, I should like 

 to take this opportunity to thank you for the gracious manner in 

 which you have acted as chairman of this meeting, the first of its kind 

 that ever has been held. We on this side send you our goodbye 

 greetings and consent to the adjournment of the meeting. 



Chairman Page : That is all the business, gentlemen. The meeting 

 is adjourned. Goodbye.
