When a man of genius dies, the world not only regrets the man, but selfishly perhaps, regrets the unborn brain-children which his genius would certainly have brought forth. In Dr. Steinmetz's death, humanity, not merely engineering or science, has suffered a tremendous loss. For eventful as his life has been, his potentialities were limitless, and until the last moment he was engaged in investigations of the utmost value...
Charles P. Steinmetz, internationally famous electrical experimentor of the General Electric Company, is on the list of those who will speak before the members of the Engineering Society during the coming year. The Society has definitely abandoned the plan in force in former years of presenting technical papers at its meetings and now has established as its policy that of bringing the leading engineers of the country to Cambridge to speak to all students in the University that are interested whether or not they are members of the engineering school...

But his grand children-in-science, Darwin, Huxley, and historical criticism, hinted that not even the Bible was inerrant, so that now Steinmetz, a Unitarian, is forced to say that religion and science are unrelated...
