Excerpt from Engineering at Yale

Coincident with the creation of the department of Philosophy and the Arts at Yale in 1847, there was established a laboratory or "School of Applied Chemistry" and a "School of Engineering," the latter limited to a course in Civil Engineering. Thus began what is now the Sheffield Scientific School, a School "devoted to instruction and researches in the mathematical, physical and natural sciences, with reference both to the promotion and diffusion of science and to the preparation of young men for such pursuits as require special proficiency in these departments of learning."

Both in Chemistry and in Engineering the rapid strides made during the past half century have more than justified the faith and hopes of the early founders, while the development of applied science in general has been such as to challenge the admiration of the world. To-day there is a broad realization in the minds of the intelligent public of the significance of science, both pure and applied, in the welfare and prosperity of the nation. Under the stress of dire necessity, both Chemistry and Engineering were called upon to demonstrate their ability to meet the demands created by a world war, and the response was such as to excite the interest and wonder of the public.

In the minds of the present generation there is no shadow of doubt as to the power of Engineering - in its many fields of activity - to develop new and better methods of construction, to create new ways by which the resources of the country can be more fully developed, to devise economical methods by which waste may be prevented or diminished, to suggest invaluable remedies by which the nation's industries and commerce may be protected and augmented, and in case of emergency to help make this country independent of the other nations of the world.
