LECTURE ON ENGINEERING

Professor D. C. Jackson, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will lecture on "Engineering as a Profession" in the Trophy Room of the Union this evening at 8.15 o'clock. The lecture will be open only to members of the Union.

Professor Jackson, after graduating from Pennsylvania State College in 1885, studied electrical engineering at Cornell for two years. He was vice-president and engineer of the Western Engineering Company of Lincoln, Nebraska, until 1889, when he came into connection with the Edison interests as assistant chief engineer of the Sprague Electric Railway and Motor Company, and later as chief engineer in the central district of the Edison General Electric Company. During this period, he designed, built and operated many of the largest electric railway and lighting plants of the country. As member of the firm of D. C. and William B. Jackson, Professor Jackson is now advising engineer and expert for several large corporations.

In 1891 he was made professor of electrical engineering at the University of Wisconsin, and since 1907 he has filled a similar position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Jackson is the author of numerous books and pamphlets.
