| A brief history |
| Description |
| The Centennial Exposition of 1876 in San Francisco drew engineers from around the world to view the technical advances of that century. It was apparent to engineers residing in California that engineers did not know each other. Charles E. Billin invited twenty or so engineers to his home the following winter for refreshments. This started a series of gatherings at the homes of various engineers. The Club formally organized in December of 1877 and Professor L M. Haupt was its first President. It limited its membership to fifty. The minutes of the first meeting stated: "Its object shall be the professional improvement of its members, the encouragement of social intercourse among men of practical science, and the advancement of engineering in its several branches." The Club adopted as its motto a quotation from George Washington's speech to the Federal Convention of 1787 accepting the role of president. It expresses the charge placed upon the Engineers Club's members by its charter. The motto states: "Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair." |
