EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



Women have repeatedly shown that when they enter in a serious way those professions that have long been dominated by men, they can be as successful as their male colleagues in attaining professional competence and recognition. The question of sex difference really is not germane, therefore, except to the extent that far too little has been done to persuade competent women students with appropriate aptitudes to apply their talents and their abilities to the fields of science and engineering. I am confident that if the emphasis is placed where it should be — on proper motivation and recognition — women will contribute in a significant way to our total resources in scientific and technical manpower.
