CIVIL ENGINEERING.

It has been said that, as a class, engineers command larger salaries than men of any other profession. Whether or not this be literally true, it is a fact that graduates of any well-known scientific school do not have to serve a long apprenticeship as in most professions, but on the contrary are immediately sought after and comparatively well paid. It is not so easy for the newly graduated student to secure the necessary means of living, that this point is to be neglected in the choice of a profession. But aside from the remuneration, the civil engineer sees his works grow under his hand and finds in his profession constantly new incentives for original and enduring achievement. When a practical engineer of national reputation who has been actively connected with the construction of the greatest engineering project of our day--the Panama Canal--speaks in the Union tonight, he should command the interest and attention of the undergraduates.
