Excerpt from Government and Technology: An Outline for Engineering Students
Professor W. B. Munro in particular I am under obligation for the opportunity to work freely in a new field. A grant from the Carnegie Corporation to the Institute for the pur chase of books and other materials has greatly facilitated my inquiries. It is proper also that I should pay tribute to my Alma Mater, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for a sound training in the science of engineering. Finally I am indebted to my father, Charles A. Beard, for reading the manuscript and for giving many helpful suggestions touching the form, spirit, and thought of the book. As authors are fond of saying, for the errors and shortcomings I alone am responsible. That is truth as well as pleasantry, in my case.
