n PROF. SMITH SPEAKS AT CHAPEL
e Professor Merrill YANG. Smith spoke
d in Chapel on Thursday morning on The
n New Epoch. He pointed out the fact
that in our every day life we pass by
'e many real wonders, accept them As
commonpaces, and in many cases the
- course of wonder is steam power. 1t
e was on this particular phase of the sub
y ject that Professor Smith dwelt. PRO
~ baby none of us has ever stopped to
consider what vast amount of human
" effort is saved by the simple fact that
Is millions of people draw water from a
spigot, to which it is derivered by
steam pumps. Without the aid of steam
shovels it would have taken as long to
dig the Panama Canal as it did to builc
he the Great Pyramids of egypt" said the
of speaker. In the course of his remarks
of Professor Smith quoted from THE New
ay Epoch, as developed by the Manufac
st ture of Power" by George S. Morrison
he former President of American Societ,
of Civil Engineers. Tracing the deve
elk opment of man Mr.. Morrison writes tn,
IS manufacture of power marks a new
d. epoch in development, but the chang,
is greater than any which preceded it
n greater in its influence on the world
nd greater in the results which are t
u- come.
