During the same twenty years, students’ scores on college entrance examinations have been falling, and colleges have been complaining that the students coming to colleges and universities are not as well prepared as they were before. Universities have begun to teach more remedial courses in the basic skills to bring incoming students up to a level where they can do regular university work.

The Eiffel Tower of Paris is a technological masterpiece in building-construction history. When the French government was organizing the Centennial Exposition of 1889 to commemorate the French Revolution, a competition was held for designs for a suitable monument. More than 100 plans were submitted and the Centennial Committee accepted that of the noted bridge engineer Gustave Eiffel. Eiffel’s conception of a 300-metre tower of open-lattice wrought iron aroused amazement, but also much scepticism: Would it be attractive? Nothing even half so high had ever been built.
