Professor Chaplin will lecture this evening on Engineering as a Profession. While the subject of engineering might at first glance appear slightly foreign to the thoughts of the Harvard student when he is brought finally before the question, "What shall I be," there are many students who would do well to consider engineering as an increasing means of an honorable and successful career. There is no profession, perhaps, which offers such sure compensation for honest work as this. The means of livelihood which are more ordinarily denominated "professions," are, say what we may about "room at the top," over-crowded. We cannot all be Websters; nor is there a chance that every doctor will rival the fame of a Marian Simms. Many a good mechanic is spoiled in a poor minister. These facts ought to be taken into consideration when a choice so momentous as that of a profession is to be made. The lecture this evening will aid this consideration. We trust that an enthusiastic audience will greet the lecturer.
