Etchings of Famous Engineers album
Collection — Box 1
Identifier: MSP 333
Scope and Contents
The Etchings of Famous Engineers album, measuring 20 x 24 inches, contains print portraits of notable engineers alongside brief typewritten biographies of each. A typed table of contents lists fifty names in both chronological and alphabetical order, though fifty-nine men appear in the album. It is likely that the initial fifty names were in the album at the time of its donation to Purdue University and the additional entries added later.
