CLUB
HOST TO LADIES

Col. Adam E. Potts, Camp Davis
commander, feature speaker last
night at the annual Ladies' Night
meeting of the Wilmington Engi-
neers' club, reviewed the history
of engineering in the United States
and noted it as one of the great
romances of American education.
He traced George Washington's
career as engineer and stateman.
The colonel stated that when Wash
ington became president of the
United States he had to delegate
many of the responsibilities which
had previously claimed his per-
sonal attention. However. there
were two items that he would never
delegate to anyone, these were edu-
cation and national Defense"
Colonel Potts said.
During the era of railroad and
canal building and improvement
of rivers, harbors and navigable
waters, there we're only two real
schools in the United States for
the education of engineers,
Colonel Potts declared.
In closing, he said, ''The Engi-
neer and the soldier have always
worked together; they always
will"
Guests of honor at the meeting,
over which G. C. Thomas, presi-
dent of the club presided, were
lieut.. Col. N. w. Haner si,d Major
Paul E. Werner.
