Mandate
McGill’s Engineering Investment Group aims to bridge the gap between engineering and finance by providing an outlet for engineering students to learn and share their thoughts about the ever-changing world of finance. We plan to educate engineering students through real-life investment activities, events, and guest speaker sessions. Our goal is to create a community of like-minded people to share their thoughts and challenge each other’s ideas.
The group's primary objective is to manage a balanced investment portfolio and showcase the merit of McGill Engineering students to large financial institutions. We will organize activities for members to demonstrate their investment skills and become a part of our Fund Management Team. We aim to provide students with the information and tools required to properly analyze and evaluate stocks. Our hope is that students will take with them the skills they learn to create opportunities for a career in the financial sector upon graduation. In addition, industry leaders will be invited to talk and share their career advise specific to engineering students.

Despite—indeed, because of—this glut of information, all books are totally useless to the reader, leaving the librarians in a state of suicidal despair. This leads some librarians to superstitions and cult-like behaviours, such as the "Purifiers", who arbitrarily destroy books they deem nonsense as they scour through the library seeking the "Crimson Hexagon" and its illustrated, magical books. Others believe that since all books exist in the library, somewhere one of the books must be a perfect index of the library's contents; some even believe that a messianic figure known as the "Man of the Book" has read it, and they travel through the library seeking him.

The story repeats the theme of Borges' 1939 essay "The Total Library" ("La biblioteca total"), which in turn acknowledges the earlier development of this theme by Kurd Lasswitz in his 1901 story "The Universal Library" ("Die Universalbibliothek"): There should be at least 5 members serving at the bar at a time; however less are needed in the first hour of Blues Pub on average.
- Pullquote
- Certain examples that Aristotle attributes to Democritus and Leucippus clearly prefigure it, but its belated inventor is Gustav Theodor Fechner, and its first exponent, Kurd Lasswitz. [...] In his book The Race with the Tortoise (Berlin, 1919), Dr Theodor Wolff suggests that it is a derivation from, or a parody of, Ramón Llull's thinking machine [...T]he elements of his game are the universal orthographic symbols, not the words of a language [...] Lasswitz arrives at twenty-five symbols (twenty-two letters, the space, the period, the comma), whose recombinations and repetitions encompass everything possible to express in all languages. The totality of such variations would form a Total Library of astronomical size. Lasswitz urges mankind to construct that inhuman library, which chance would organize and which would eliminate intelligence. (Wolff's The Race with the Tortoise expounds the execution and the dimensions of that impossible enterprise.)
