ENGINEERING. A CAREER; A CULTURE. The Engineering Foundation, 29 West 39th St.. New York City, 1932. 61 pp. 15 X 23 cm. 50.15. The contents and objectives of this pamphlet are clearly stated in the foreword: This pamphlet, addressed to young men and to parents and teachers, is descriptive of the profession of engineering-of its spheres of action, of the training and the qualities required for its successful pursuit: of the obligations which it imposes, and the rewards which it affords. The practical usefulness of an engineering education in vocations other than engineering is illustrated by the experiences of many men in diverse callings. Contrary to common opinion, engineering education possesses cultural values comparable to those which inhere in the fine a rts. The significance of engineering is made clear in order to aid a young man in deciding whether through this profession he can realize his ideals and ambitions.
