and science subjects, more talented women will be channeled toward engineering and science careers. The Federal Government is promoting engineering as a career for qualified women. The Executive Office of the President of the United States has arranged conferences in which college faculties, technical industries, and members of the Society of Women Engineers meet to discuss ways of attracting women to the engineering profession. This activity by the government is commendable, but the engineering profession itself has the responsibility to initiate and implement programs to emphasize to our young women the exciting challenges which exist for those who enter this field. The contribution of chemistry, mathematics, biology, physiology, psychology, economics, and other of the diciplines are uniting with engineering to provide greater service to mankind than ever dreamed of by earlier generations. This service should have a tremendous appeal to women who possess such a compassion for humanity. VI-21
