Excerpt from English and Engineering: A Volume of Essays for English Classes Although I must take the responsibility for the idea and plan of this collection, my obligations to different men for help and suggestions are numerous. Among practical engineers, teachers of engineering subjects, and teachers of English in engineering schools alike I have found the most intense interest in the subject of English for technical students, for the double end of helping them to express themselves better in writing and speaking and of broadening their outlook on life two aims which, in my opinion, can best be realized together. I have not hesitated to adopt ideas wherever I could find them and it is impossible for me in many cases to give credit where it is due. I must, however, take this opportunity to acknowledge my obligations to Professors Comfort A. Adams, Dugald C. Jackson and A. E. Norton of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, Mr. Farley Osgood and Mr. William Vander pool of the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, and, in still greater degree, to Dr. C. R. Mann of the Carnegie Foundation and to Professor H. G. Pearson of the English Department of the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology, whose advice and help on a hundred points have been of the greatest value. To Mr. L. A. Crosby and Mr. Philip Marks of the Eng lish Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology my thanks are due for assistance with.
