Armour Institute of Technology - Cycle Yearbook (Chicago, IL)

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!

 Scholar, poet, humanist, teacher, aviator, journalist, author, and farmer, Walter Hendricks exemplifies that spirit of diversified and crea- tive activity that has marked superior men. A member of the Institute faculty for seventeen years, now chairman of the Department of Languages and Literature, Professor Hendricks has displayed tremendous energy in his thorough participation in the academic and extra-curricular life of Armour. A philosopher and idealist whose greatest interest is life as found in his fellow men, Professor Hendricks has earned the gratitude and respect of the men of Armour who have contacted him within the classroom and off campus. Optimistic and good natured, he fills his lectures and his writings with a spirit of liberality and truth. His emphasis on the arts and their importance in living is reflected in his own philosophy of life which sees good in everything as evidenced in his keen interest of each student and his individual problem. One of his principal responsibilities at Armour is the directorship of the student and Institute publications, including the Cycle, Armour Tech News, and Engineer. He has devoted considerable time and effort toward the editorial administration of these representative publications. Their repeated excellence and originality are in large part due to his inspiring leadership. Each semester he somehow finds time to teach a course in social philosophy, poetry, or drama at the request of interested students. This is in addition to his regular program of instruction. His summers are spent on his six hundred acre Vermont farm with his family, where he turns to exhaustive reading and the agrarian life. In recognition of the inestimable services which Professor Walter Hendricks has rendered to the Institute and to his fellow men. this publication is dedicated. « 9 •
