EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



Massachusetts Institute of Technology has made a start in this direction, but much more needs to be done. As far as women are concerned, I feel that the future now holds more promise for the truly able and dedicated woman scientist or engineer than ever before. If the present equilibrium in technical manpower holds, women will find themselves competing on the basis of ability rather than becoming part of a national nose count. The result should be to encourage the best women to enter the field. This, plus the generally high level of employment for talented people, should provide them with a successful and challenging future.
