Address at the Annual Convention at Detroit, Mich., July 26th, 1898
Our Constitution requires that the President address your body on the occasion of the Annual Convention. While rising in obedience to this mandate, I am glad of the opportunity thus given me to express at this, the largest meeting of the year, my sense of the high honor conferred when you found me worthy of being called to the chair. It was formerly the duty of the President to give a summary of the progress in engineering during the preceding year. This duty does not now exist, but, inasmuch as a number of my predecessors have selected other subjects for their Annual Addresses, I have thought it proper to return to the old practice, although the engineering field has now become so large that a short paper can give but a very incomplete sketch of the subject.
