‘In 1919, 50 years ago, Ewart Andrews set up his private practice in London, as Consulting Engineer; I count myself most fortunate to have been one of his partners,
and, now, very humble to succeed, after 35 years, such a one as he, and, after 10 years, such a one as my friend and present partner Lewis Kent, as President of this very fine Institution. To these two eminent structural engineers particularly, I owe my thanks: for their friendship, for their guidance and for their support, during almost 40 years in which I have been connected with engineering, of one sort or another.'
