| has gloss | eng: The Cornish Institute of Engineers was founded in 1913 by the then Principal of the Camborne School of Mines, J. J. Berringer. Its first President, Josiah Paul, was appointed on 1 March 1913. It is the only institute in Cornwall and maintains a continuous programme of lectures of very high quality. The origins of the Institute go back to the Camborne Association of Engineers, a small but prestigious body existing in the early years of the 20th century and composed mainly of mechanical engineers. |
