Extract

      “Man's curiosity searches past and future
      And clings to that dimension. But to apprehend
      The point of intersection of the timeless
      With time, is an occupation for the saint.”
    The Dry Salvages—T. S. Eliot

Why include the topic of education and training, it could be asked, in a series devoted to predicting ahead to the Second Century of the Society. It is obvious that in the other fields covered there is bound to be great technological progress but men, it might be thought, will teach, and learn, and study much as they do today, and as they did yesterday. Thus we could advise our student engineer that “the acquirements which are necessary to enable the individual to distinguish himself, or even to practise his profession with a moderate chance of success are partly abstract and theoretical, and partly experimental or practical.
