Mansfield Merriman (1948 – 1925) was a "true" civil engineer in his professional diversity: hydraulics, bridge design, construction, and author of many civil engineering books. He graduated from Yale's Sheffield Scientific School in 1871, later becoming a civil engineering professor at Lehigh University from 1878 to 1907, and later a consulting civil and hydraulic engineer.
