- W2005093306 abstract "Until a century ago engineers prepared for their work, as they had done for the fifty preceding centuries, by observation, practice and ap prenticeship. The professional training of James Geddes, Charles Brod head and Benjamin Wright who built the Erie Canal must have been very similar to that of the builders of the pyramids and of the Roman roads and aqueducts. But a change was now imminent. Classes and schools for engineers were about to begin; had begun in France in 1747 with the Ecole des Ponts et Chauss?es and in Germany in 1765 with the K?nigliche S?chsiche Bergakademie. Military engineering was also taught in schools both in Europe and America. Some passages which look toward education in military engineering are to be found in Wash ington's correspondence. Dr. John Anderson of the University of Glas gow offered the new republic his services as Engineer Artillerist and Director of the Gun Foundry of the United States of America. ' ' This was the John Anderson (1726-1796) who founded a famous Glasgow in stitution for teaching applied science. He proposed now to teach Ameri can cadets either at Glasgow or in the United States, as it might be ar ranged. Washington was keenly interested but doubtful about ways and means. Tobias Lear, his secretary, visited Glasgow and made an enthusi astic report on Anderson's achievements and his standing in his com munity. If we should carry into effect the intention of establishing a national University in Washington City, wrote Lear, Mr. Anderson would be a great acquisition to it, provided he could be drawn over there. 'n Nothing came of these efforts. But West Point got itself estab lished ; and this furnished a certain stimulus to civil engineering. Many of its graduates resigned their army commissions, almost as soon as they had earned them, to enter civil occupations, sometimes as engineers and * sometimes, as we shall see, to teach engineering. Civil engineering was taught at Rensselaer, in a course regularly or ganized for that purpose, first in 1835 although a few men who became engineers had secured their basic training there before that date. That the course was comprehensive rather than technical and specific is suffi" @default.
