I'VE have common part in engi-
neering as well as in other things.
You are making bridges across our
rivers and channels. We are throwing
out forms of union and the bridge is
closing and we may say il is closed.
We are one people with a past, with a
common faith. a common hope, COM
mon principles and may we not say.
in all essentials a common future.
To promote the peace of the world,
the happiness of mankind, to nourish
commerce and make the whole world
better-these should be our sole aims,
Can anything be nohler than the ef-
forts TO make the whole world one?
That is the aim of the civil engineers"
