Abstract
THE Institution of Civil Engineers has given a fine lead ther professions in its recently published brobure entitled “Civil Engineering as a Career” with the ever-increasing width of human aktivity the percentage of young men who can have anything but an elementary idea of the kind of life to which their chosen job is going to lead them must be small, and here in compact but fully informative form is an admirably drawn picture of a profession, rightly encouraging, but without any trace of propaganda. It merits the most careful study by anyone whose responsibilities entail advising scientifically inclined young men what lies open to them. It should certainly be in the hands of every young engineer in his early days at the university, when he is faced with the choice of what branch of the profession he is going to adopt.
