Abstract
AN admirable address, well thought out, well delivered, and received with bursts of applause, which were so enthusiastic that they sounded like volleys of musketry. We are still in the early days of the history of technical education, and such deliberate expression of opinion by those who are connected with the engineering industry are much needed on the subject of the early training of the engineer; and when the speaker is Sir Andrew Noble, in whose works 30,000 gain their living, and when, in addition, he says what he really thinks, and does not merely confine himself to complimentary remarks about the College in which he is speaking, his address cannot fail to command close attention.
