Address at the Annual Convention at Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 25th, 1901
The century which has just passed, the nineteenth of the Christianera, is distinguished from any of the preceding hundred-year Periods in the world's history by the advances made in the co-operation of investigators in numerous branches of science in the formulation of doctrines regarding the nature and co-ordination of natural phenomena, which stand the test of experiment and calculation, thus leading to a nearer approximation to the understanding of the laws which govern such phenomena and so to the development into a profession of the “Art of directing the great sources of Power in Nature for the use and convenience of Man,” which Art is entitled Civil Engineering. This definition is itself one of the most noteworthy products of the Nine-teenth Century, and a study of the sequence of events and reasoning which led to its formulation is not without interest.
