and under his management the work turned out was of a remarkably high 

 class. The writer of this sketch served on one of the Union Iron Works 

 vessels, and can testify to the splendid workmanship on the machinery of 

 that vessel. The writer also was told by Chief Engineer Milligan of the 

 Oregon, tlie man who made her famous, that his task was rendered much 

 easier by the splendid workmanship which had been put upon the machinery 

 of that vessel. 



Mr. Dickie was an original and courageous designer; and the pages of 

 the Transactions have been enriched by the papers he contributed. He had 

 been president of the Technical Society of the Pacific Coast and a member 

 of the Council of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, as well as 

 a member of the Council and Vice-President of our own Society. Mr. Dickie 

 inspired confidence and respect in all who came within the circle of his influ- 

 ence, and was a highly valued friend of those to whom he gave his confidence. 



The Council and Members of The Society of Naval Architects and 

 Marine Engineers in convention of this date, taking note of the death of 

 Mr. George W. Dickie — 



"Resolved, That the Society desires to record its sorrow at the death of 

 one of its Vice-Presidents, who was a leader of the profession and who had 

 always taken an active interest in the Society. 



"Resolved, That we tender to his family our sincere sympathy in their 

 great loss, and that we assure them of sharing in their pride in his splendid 

 record of professional achievement. 



"Resolved, That these resolutions, with the accompanying notes of the 

 career of Mr. Dickie, be inserted in the Transactions of the Society, and that 

 a copy be sent to his family."
