JUNE 8. 1939 ... A date that will linger with the Class of 1939 for years to come. It was on that day that one hundred and fifty sons of Armour reached a long anticipated finale of four years of study. The forty-third annual commencement was held at the Museum of Science and Industry in Jackson Park, Chicago. This famous building has been one of Chicago's most beautiful examples of fine architecture since the Exposition of 1893, and because it now represents the progressive spirit of modern industry and science, it was deemed proper that the senior class should hold its commencement exercises there. Graduation day has often been looked upon as a day of parting for old classmates and pals, but we, as engineers, may consider it as merely a transition point which we may jump over together. Engineering is a profession which unifies the men who participate in its development.

ARCHITECTURE gressive spirit which always exists about Armour. Advancements have been made in research, improvements have been made in the curriculum, and the student enrollment has been greater than ever before. The staff of the CYCLE of '39 has attempted to assemble a permanent record of the achievements which have been made this year. It is hoped that this pictorial and editorial description of the year's events and activities will find a preferred place in the library of each and every TECHAWK.

The many organizations and activities which the student engineer enters while at college continue to seek his interest after he has begun to establish himself in the engineering world. As graduates of Armour Institute of Technology, many of us will find employment here in the city of our curricular training. Others will go to stations throughout the country, and a few will find that their work leads them to foreign lands. Close together or far apart, we need not allow our alliance to weaken in the slightest degree. The Armour Alumni Association, the Armour Engineer and Alumnus, and the annual CYCLE will each contribute a part to strengthen the ties which have been made during these four years, but each organization needs the support of those who wish to derive the benefits of continued union. Let us all remember that our connection to Armour Tech has only begun, and that our alma mater can continue to help us in obtaining steady advancement. Don’t forget Armour Tech and CHICAGO!
