The Corps of Engineers, Col.
Matthias said, was founded as a
result of a resolution passed by
the Continental Congress meeting

Paul Revere, more than year

Army Engineers Mark l68th
Anniversary Of Founding

Yesterday, June 16, the Pasco
office of the army engineers en-
saeed on the Hartford engineer
works observed the 168th ami
,,ersary of the founding of the
Corps of Engineers.
The engineer corps, often de-
scribed as the oldest and steadiest
branch of the military establish
roent of the United States, was
founded on, the day before the
pattle of Bunker Fillmore than
wear before the signing of the
neclaration of Independence-in
lime. TITS, with the appointment
bv the Continental Congress of the
first chief of engineers, Richard
Gridley. -.
There were no public ceremonies
in Pasco yesterday. No holidays
were given or taken. The day
went almost unnoticed by the local
office. This is typical of the hard
working, efficient engineers who
since Pearl Harbor have recog-
nized only one holiday, Christmas.
"War is too big job to take

bases, hospitals, roads, war plants,
Notifications, railroads, piers, am
munition and storage and repair
depots, and other military install
lations.
Surveys of our rapidly expand
ing nation, planning and construc-
ton of roads and highways, care
of rivers and harbors, building
and maintenance of dams and can
ais Gncluding the Panama Canal
for commerce and flood-control-
these and other important peace
time duties have been the charge
of the engineers, in addition to
their wartime activities, since that
eventful day in ITS.
Engineers Carefully Selected
Many have been the honors won
by the corps and individual Of
ficers and men in them during war
as well as peace. And no wonder.
For only the top men get into
the corps.
Cadets who stand highest in
their graduating class at West
Point are slated for the engineers.
Other officers are picked with
great care from the army at large,
and during war, from civilian life
for their exceptional skill.
1t. Col. Franklin T. Matthias,
area engineer for the Hartford en-
gineer works is a graduate of the
University of Wisconsin. He is
a reserve officer called to active
duty in April, 1941, and has been
in charge of construction in Ten
nessee and Wisconsin before his
present assignment.

concerned about the lack of trained
engineers in the army. In fact,
with the exception of very few
men who had gained some practi-
cal experience in the construction,
attack and defense of fortified
places by service at Louisburg,
Lake George, Ticonderoga, Crown
Point or Quebec, there was hardly
any military engineering skill or
talent in the Colonies. f..< s.,-.a'a
There were few professional
men of any kind in those early
Colonies. The settlers were intel
igent and adventurous people, but
largely unschooled in an academic
sense. - II
Undoubtedly the first congress
was influenced by Gen. George
Washington, himself an engineer,
when it wisely made provisions
for the postwar period by setting
up two separate offices of chief
of engineer. One was to be directly
in the army, the other for the army
but in a separate department.
Resolution of Congress ..
AT any rate, on June Is, 1775,
the Centennial Congress: 49,,
"Resolved-That there be one
chief engineer at the Grand Army,
and that his pay be $50 per month.
THAT two assistants be en-
ployed under him, and that the
pay of each of them be $40 per
month. s ->~:s -sar d.. 1.@.-
''That there be one chief engin-
eer for the army in a separate de-
partment and two assistants under
him; that the pay of the chief en-
gineer be $50 per month and the
pay of his assistants each $40 per
month" ~~--~~-. -z---.--. -..... A>".
Although today there is but one
chief of engineers, Maj. Gen. Eu-
gene Reybold, the corps is still
divided into two parts. One part
consists of engineer troops in the
army, and the other civilian en-
ployes directed by engineer Of
ficers, as in the Hanford engineer
works office, in charge of all mill
tary and peacetime construction
for the army. NJ. ~ y. ~
In those early days of the repub-
lie, $50 per month was the pay
for a colonel in the army and $40
the pay for a captain. The en-
gineers appointed to serve in the
army were commissioned with
those respective ranks. .gz g.
The first chief of engineers, APP
pointed that June, was Richard
Gridley. The following December,
congress granted Washington, who
must have been eager to enlarge
the functioning of his engineers,
the authority to raise an entire
corps of engineers to work with
him.
Engineer Accomplishments
From that day to this, glorious
record has been achieved by the
corps under the direction of the
chief of engineers.
1t was an engineer of the revo-
luton, David Bushnell, who years
ahead of his time in military sci
ence, built and operated the first
submarine.

GERS, under direction of General
Washington, was that model of

Brown Slated
To Head u. NJ?
BY FRANK MORRIS

Politicians, both Democrats and
Republicans, are saying that DR..
Alexander G. Ruthven may soon
resign as president of the Uni
versity Of Michigan and that
PrentiSs NJ. Brown is being con-
sidered for the post
Members OF the board Of re-
gents denied today that they have
heard that Dr. Ruthven might
quit. Brown. former OPA direc-
tor and former United States
senator, said he had never heard
OF the development.
John d. Lynch and David H.
Crowley, the regents who live in
Detroit, said the report of Ruth
ven's resignation reOCcurS every
year. They said that although II
is more prevalent now than ever
before, the board never has dis
cusSed II and has received no
intimation from the university
president that he intends 10 leave.
DR.. Ruthven is in England. He
left Ann Arbor suddenly three
weeks ago. having been asked by
the federal government to make
an educational survey in the
British Isles.
