Excerpt from The Commercial and Technical Relations of Engineering Design and Work
As something of novelty in the history of the proceedings of the Institution attaches to the subject that brings us together this evening, I am sure you will forgive me if I begin with a few words upon the circumstances which have led up to, and the ideas which have crystallised into the foundation of this series of lectures.
During the past century the practice of engineering passed from the rank of a craft to that of a profession, involving studies of a highly scientific character and requiring in its votaries a sense of strict probity commensurate with the magnitude of the interests entrusted to them.
Its rise to this high plane was accompanied by the growth of a prejudice common to all those classes of society whose distinction from the general body of the population has had its origin in superior qualities of mind and character. The attitude of contempt or indifference towards commercial matters on the part of members of the military, clerical, legal and medical professions is too well known to require more than a mere reference in illustration of this feature of society in all ages and in all countries, with the possible exception of those whose attainment of a high rank among the nations has been coincident with the intense industrialism of the past half century.
