Excerpt from The Education of Civil and Mechanical Engineers
The following paper was written, at the suggestion of friends in England, in the hope that the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers might be induced to allow it to be read at a meeting of the Institution, and so give an opportunity for the subject of j;he education of Engineers to be discussed by the Members of the Institution. I have been disappointed in that hope, as the following letter will show:
Dear Sir,
I am directed by the Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers to tender their best thanks for the sub mission to them of the original communication by Mr. Henry Dyer, of Japan, "On the Education of Civil and Mechanical Engineers." This paper is not, in the judgment of the Council, one that can be regarded as suitable for reading and discussion at an ordinary meeting of the members. The Institution, as an Institution, is not an educational body, nor has it any power to grant what are ordinarily understood as degrees. Neither has it authority to interfere with, or regulate the practice of the profession. The qualifications for admission into the several ranks of this Institution, are settled by the bye-laws, and the Council feel that they would not be warranted under existing circumstances in extending their action beyond the provisions of the Royal Charter of Incorporation and the bye-laws founded thereon.
