Much, very much, in the field of practical application has been accomplished, but even within the horizon of our present knowledge we shall need powerful reinforcements from our engineering schools in the immediate future if we are to secure and maintain that relative position in the world of progress which the natural resources of our country, the energy of our people and the opportunities afforded by our institutions demand. And beyond the horizon of our present knowledge what infinite possibilities may await keen and patient research and inventive genius! The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is distinguished among our schools of Science and Engineering by the fact that it has never attempted to do more than it has subsequently proved itself able to accomplish with signal success. All who are interested in electrical science must rejoice that this conservatively and ably managed institution, which in the past has done so much to place the American civil engineer in the front rank of progress, is now prepared, under exceptionally competent and earnest direction and with adequate facilities, to add to the army of trained workers in the broad field of electrical engineering. "In behalf of the Institute of Electrical Engineers, I extend hearty congratulations to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute upon the acquisition of these splendid laboratories, which are destined beyond doubt to contribute to progress in the arts of civilization to an extent which no one at this time may attempt to measure."
