Mr. J. H. Jennings '77, a mining engineer, spoke of the endeavor to place engineering on a level with other professions and to require a broad education of engineers. He dwelt at length upon the untiring industry, the great versatility, and the great fund of information of the late Dean Shaler, under whom the Lawrence Scientific School attained great importance. Dean Shaler was a poet and a philosopher...
