Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 1920, Vol. 13: Part I The paths of the early workers on electrolytic cells were not strewn with roses. They were very rocky. I speak from experience for I think I have been continuously in the business longer than any other man in this country. In September, 1894, I went to work for the old Electrochemical Company of Rumford Falls, Maine, as a laborer, 20 months later I was made superintendent of the plant, and have held that position there, and subsequently in Berlin for the Brown Company. That makes 26 years of experience. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Vol. 11: 1918 Gentlemen: Your secretary has asked me to write a few introductory remarks concerning the mills of the Brown Company located in Berlin, N. H., and I have chosen as my subject "The Human Element in the Mill." In order that these remarks may be clear, it will be understood that the Brown Company is a consolidation of two distinct companies which were under two distinct systems of management. One has always been under the Brown management. As it would take too much space to go into the separate activities of each, and as it is not my object to write a history but to lay down certain principles and show how they are applied, I am writing of the Company as if it had always existed as one organized entirety instead of two separate institutions. However, it must be borne in mind that the unfavorable facts herein mentioned took place in one of our mills before it came under the Brown management. In writing this paper certain things do not appear in plain English, and for the true meaning of a part of my message one will have to read between the lines correlating the principles with the facts laid down. I have arranged this paper in regard to sequence of principles, and consequently, the facts are not arranged in accordance with sequence of events. The charts submitted are illustrative of principles, and if they contain any other information such information is of only secondary importance. Lest I become tedious I shall confine myself to one illustration of each principle. Undoubtedly the most important factor in the development and operation of a mill is the human element. In this mill we have thirty-six nationalities and I do not know how many religions. We have Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Prohibitionists.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering, 1914, Vol. 7 Chemical engineering as an organized profession is comparatively new, although many men have been engaged in this class Of work since the beginning of large-scale manufacture. Since the organiza tion Of this Institute, various definitions have been given to outline the scope of our professional activities, many schemes have been suggested to improve the training of our apprentices, some advances have been made towards standardization in our engineering practice, a code defining the ethical standards of our profession has been formulated and adopted, and we have shown our aims, with some results, in constructive patent reform. Work of such a character is of the greatest importance, and is far in advance of that heretofore undertaken by any other organization in our field. It can never be regarded as completed, and the best thought and effort Of well constituted committees will continue to be given to advancement along these lines, with great resultant benefit to the profession.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, 1915, Vol. 8 The rainfall varies from almost nothing in the desert regions to 50 and 60 inches per annum in the northwestern counties of California. With but few local exceptions the climate is divided into a short wet period and a relatively long dry Spell, but the large streams of central and northern California flow the entire year, fed by the everlasting snows of the high Sierras.

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Vol. 3: 1910 At the outset let me voice one word, sir, to you and to your col leagues, Welcome! Really, having uttered that beautiful sound, everything has been said, and I feel that in a sense, on SO beautiful a morning as this, in so exquisite a spot, it had perhaps been more fitting not to go beyond the utterance of that one word. But, as I have been given the honor Of addressing you, I propose to say a few words - literally a -few words. In the first place, reference has been made to my personality. I think perhaps it would be well that you should feel that the one to whom has been entrusted the honorable task of welcoming you can do SO in a sense for all branches of the British race, because I have not the honor of being Canadian born. I have a Sincere and abiding affection for the old country across the Atlantic, from which I came some years ago. I have an equally Sincere and a very great affection for the land of my adoption, Canada, and I have a great affection also for the United States, since, not only from personal intercourse, but by reason of business association, I know a considerable amount about it for one who had not another honor, namely, that of being born in the United States. When I was asked to speak in this early hour Of the day, I wondered if there were any kind of utterance which had been made at any time which indicated what a hard thing it was for a man to have his spoken words considered SO early in the morning. And I found that our good friend Robert Herrick, who lived from 1594 to 1674, had said: In sober mornings, do not thou rehearse The holy incantation of a verse; But when that men have both drunk and well fed, Let my enchantments then be sung or read. I must confess for my own part that I Should naturally expect a more cordial welcome to words spoken after a good hearty dinner than in the morning after an early breakfast. It is hard to decide Of what character they should partake. After dinner one's Speech should be of the nature of a mental liqueur - some Sort Of nice finishing stroke to things which have already been indulged in; but this is absurd in the early morning, after a modest meal of shredded wheat or bacon and eggs. But some thing can be fitly said, even at this early hour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
