Today's youth is not a lost generation, T. DeWitt Carr, resigning dean of the School of Engineering and Architecture, said in an interview Thursday.
"The people who predict a bad future for our young people are the ones who can't see the forest for the trees. Our youth will go far in this world if we give them the foundation to build on.I hope I can leave my imprint on them."
Dean Carr said that his main aim during his ten years as dean has been to put his experience to work to build a better school and help the students.
Born in Huntington, W. Va. in 1893, Dean Carr received his bachelor of science degree from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Upon graduation he entered the Navy as an ensign and served 30 years.
He retired as a captain in 1947. In the same year he signed a contract to come to the University as dean of the School of Engineering,
As a naval officer he served as U.S. Naval aide to President Coolidge; chief of staff, Navy Amphibious Force, Seventh Fleet; commanding officer, USS Davis, and executive officer of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station.

DEAN CARR
"One has to work at things until he learns to meet adversities, and never loses sight of the objective. This is what I have tried to instill in my kids."
Now that he is retiring, Dean Carr said he has no definite plans."
