Engineers were starting to become more educated over the years, and the Morrill Act helped to train them.

I was fascinated to see how small weekly advances turned into huge progressions in a month. My grandpa’s experience working with OTs for a year resulted in him being able to walk my aunt down the aisle on her wedding day and go back to work as a machinist.
