might have overestimated the worth of the training, but he did believe 
that there should be the broadest possible training. 
Mr. George A. Dean: I have listened with much interest and I 
must say also great profit to the splendid addresses that have been 
given on this important subject. But several times I have wondered 
how many of you have read the outline that was given by Dr. C. R. 
Mann of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in 
his Report of Progress in the Study of Engineering Education, which 
report was given a few years ago or at a time that several of the various 
engineering associations were considering the proper training of a man 
for engineering work. 
I don’t know that our work differs so much—in fact, in my mind it 
doesn’t differ at all from the zoologist—or the chemist—or even the 
engineer. This outline has not been prepared by a psychologist. (I 
don’t mean by this that I have no faith in psychology, for I certainly 
have). But it does seem to me that there are some things in this outline 
that are well worth considering, particularly when it has been prepared 
by some of the foremost engineers in this country, or by a group of men 
who have put across some of the greatest projects the world has known. 
With your permission I will write this outline on the board. Under¬ 
stand, in giving this outline I am not writing it as my outline, but as one 
that appeared in the Proceedings of the Society for the Promotion of 
Engineering Education. 
The first is: 
PERSONAL QUALITIES— 
Character, 
24% 
Judgment, 
19#% 
Efficiency, 
16#% 
Knowledge of men 
15% 
Total 
75% 
The second heading is: 
TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT- 
Knowledge of Fundamentals, 15% 
Technique, 
10% 
Total 
25% 
100 % 
Now no one believes in a broad, fundamental training, more than I 
do, not only in science but in any other lines. But in the last analysis 
are we so much concerned with what a man knows, as what can he do 
with what he knows? 
President J. G. Sanders: May we have a few words from Mr. 
Marlatt on the training of the young entomologist?
