It is Engineering Week at the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, February 22–27, 1954. Just as in stateside colleges of the United States, there are luncheons, lectures exhibits, and trips through local factories. I am in the main auditorium where we are about to hear a lecture by the head of a Puerto Rican research institute. Everyone is in shirtsleeves or sportshirts, for the weather is typical of the tropics. Through the open doors and louvered shutters I can see the royal palms, flowering African tulip trees, and the fern‐leaved flamboyán. The breeze cools those of us who hurried over from a class the last hour.
