The great liability of an Engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them.His acts,step by step,are in hard substance.He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the Doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the Judge like the Lawyers.He cannot,like the Architects,cover his failures with tree and vines.He cannot,like the Politicians, screen his shortcomings by blaming his opponents and hope the people will forget.The Engineer simply cannot deny he did it.If his works do not work,he is damned.....On the other hand,unlike the Doctors, he is not the life among the weaks.Unlike the Soldiers, destruction is not his purpose.Unlike the Lawyer, quarrels are not his daily bread.To the Engineer, falls the job of clothing the bare bones of science with life,comfort and hope.No doubt as years go by,people forget which Engineer did it,even if they ever knew.Or some Politicians put their names on it.Or they credit it to some Promoters who use other people's money.But the Engineer himself looks back at the unending stream of goodness which flow from his successes with satisfaction that few professions may know.And the verdict of his fellow professionals is all the accolade he wants.
