HOW TO BUILD A BETTER AMERICA

Recently at the dedii a ion of a revolutionary new type ot school in Dayton. Ohio, some of the ideas and plans expressed and pi >jected substantial so >d for thought - particularly at this time in history when we hear so much about “tear in; rown the system" or ‘‘letting the Government do it.” The occasion was the dedication of the Eugene W Ketter in; Engineering & Science Center established to provide adv meed education to engineers and scientists, and named in li n>r of an outstanding en giaeer for General Motors for almost three decades, who died tv. o years ago. In keeping w.th the thinking of Eugene Kettering, whose "far - out" ideas and interests led to many a breakthrough in railroading aviation and medical research, th 3 new Engineering & Science C uter also sports a few advunced ideas. For example, most of the , faculty members at the school ai > drawn from the ranks of pt ofession al working engineers and scientists whose instruction is ba,sed directly upon their first - hand knowledge gained ft am employment at the benches y and in the laboratories of in di 'try. Reason: new develop- - nmnts in science and engineering ate being made so rapidly today that technology is often well ahead of the textbooks or conventional classrooms. In this " ty advanced educa'ion is made in Hantly available to engineers

and scientists, as well as to selected high .school and college students The importance of the new educational center is reflected by the fact the the principal dedication ceremony speaker was Edward N. Cole, the president of General Motors Corporation. In his remarks, Mr. Cole said: “Our goals will not be achieved by emotional ism or hysteria. They will not be achieved by destructive actions, or by idle dreams that a utopia will gomhow materialize on the horizon. They will not be achieved by senseless criticism, or by pitting major seg ments of our society against each other. “Our goals will be achieved,” said Mr. Cole, "through the relentless pursuit of knowledge for the benefit of mankind ” It was that philosophy which led Eugene Kettering to found the new Engineering & Science Center, the Hinsdale. Illinois Medical Center, including the Heal h Museum; the Kettering Medical Center in Dayton; and to support such outstanding educational and research facilities as the Sloan Kettering Institote for Cancer research; the University of Dayton Engineering & Science Center and many others. May w-e gently suggest to the carping critics of our country: "If you really want to build a better America, go thou and do likewise.”
