THE CHAIRMAN:

Mr. Chubbuok, who was to speak to ue

on tho last toplo on the program, is unable to be present. I am sure that we are all sorry that Mr- Chubbuck has been prevented from being with us. Our exercises will * be concluded by an address on "Research as a Factor in Railway Administration, by Mr. Samuel 0. Dunn, Editor, Railway Age Gazette, MR. DUNN: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: - It is a gratification and an honor to be here on this occasion. I had the pleasure of being with the delegation of railway men who came down here a few years ago when Mr. Park's resolution pledging the support of railway men to this enterprise was adopted, Mr. Quayle's concluding remarks about the importance of development of character suggested to me a point in which you may be interested. I came down here some

three years ago to get a man, - we needed a man in one of the departments of our paper, and on Dr. G O B S ' recommendation employed a young man who had Just then graduated from the engineering department of this school. If all the

young men that this school turns out are like the one that I got, it certainly deserves all the support that this state can give it. I have known a good many young men in my time, but I have never known one who in intelligence, in industry and in character is a finer type of Amerioan young manhood than the graduate of this school whom, I am very glad to say, we have on our editorial staff.
