几年前，由耶鲁大学 C. R. Longwell 教授和 A. I. 教授领导的一组地质学家。斯坦福大学的莱沃森提议通过汇编和发表多篇原创论文，每篇论文都涉及该学科的一个特殊方面，来表彰哥伦比亚大学纽伯里名誉教授查尔斯·彼得·伯基博士在工程地质学领域的终生贡献。美国地质学会通过其主席 N. L. Bowen 博士任命了一个委员会来执行这项提议，并同意出版该研讨会。 W. O. Hotchkiss 博士被正式任命为工作组主席，其中包括 Sidney Paige、W. S. Mead、J. P. Buwalda 和 B. C. Moneymaker。作者均因其在该领域的特殊知识而被选中，并慷慨地投入了时间。大家一致认为，应该强调广泛的原则，而不是工程或地质细节，但除了这种广泛的考虑之外，每位作者都应独立准备自己的材料。我们对他们表示所有的感谢。这些论文是否需要进一步介绍值得怀疑。每一篇都是针对受过技术培训的受众，并计划强调原理，而不是工程和地质实践的细节。本书的标题——地质学在工程实践中的应用——是不言自明的，工程师和地质学家都很好理解。
Some years ago a group of geologists led by Professor C. R. Longwell of Yale University and Professor A. I . Levorsen of Stanford University proposed to honor Dr. Charles Peter Berkey, Newberry Professor Emeritus of Columbia University, for his life-long contributions in the field of engineering geology, by assembling and publishing a number of original papers each of which would deal with a special facet of the subject. The Geological Society of America, through its President Dr. N. L. Bowen, appointed a committee to carry out this proposal and agreed to publish the symposium. Dr. W. O. Hotchkiss was duly appointed Chairman of a working group, among whom were Sidney Paige, W. S. Mead, J. P. Buwalda, and B. C. Moneymaker. The authors, each selected for his particular knowledge in the field, have given generously of their time. I t was agreed that broad principles, rather than engineering or geologic detail, should be emphasized, but aside from this broad consideration each author was to prepare his material independently. To them all our thanks are due. It is doubtful whether these papers need further introduction. Each is addressd to a technically trained audience and is planned to emphasize principles, rather than the minutiae of engineering and geologic practice. The title of the boor– The Application of Geology to Engineering Practice –is self-explanatory and is well understood by engineers and geologists.
