Rochester's Mechanics Institute offered practical technical training in a variety of fields. This 1914 pamphlet contains information on evening classes in steam engineering. It informs it's recipient as to the meeting time, the class instructor, and the tuition cost. Take note of most interesting aspect of this pamphlet, the passage that addresses the various types of people who would benefit from the Institute's training. Notice how in addition to students, it also lists engineers, superintendents, machinists, and other professional careers. This attention to training for professionals in the workforce exemplifies the Mechanics Institute's mission of continued learning throughout one's professional life, a mission that they have pursued even 100 years ago.
