Abstract

In recent weeks news has been received of the death of Mr. Lawrence Ennis, O.B.E., Hon.M.I.E.Aust., famous to all members of The Institution by reason of his wonderful work as Director of Construction, on behalf of Messrs. Dorman Long & Co., Ltd., of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and in this bridge he has constructed a monument which worthily commemorates his place in the history of engineering progress and achievement.

Mr. Ennis, a Scot by birth, died at the age of 66 years. He was the first, and to date the only, Honorary Member of The Institution and in his election to Honorary Membership, the Council of The Institution sought to give practical evidence of its appreciation of his personal qualities and engineering skill.

An expression of the deep sympathy of The Institution has been conveyed to his widow.
