? % The : Crimson 1932 JWodern dhftalru - ■« Where are the knights of yesteryear? Where is the old- time chivalry and romance? Alas, it has disappeared. The modern youth ruthlessly brushes aside the conventionalities of the past. These words are repeated again and again, and each time youth burns with resentment. Has age ever understood youth: Has there ever been a time when some one has not said, What is the younger generation coming to? It is as natural as the changing of times. Chivalry is just as dominant in these modern times as it was back in the days of King Arthur; only now our knights do not ride forth with glittering swords on fiery steeds, to con- front dragons. No, clothed in the armour of their experience and bearing the sword of knowledge, they greet present-day battles. Shining armour has grown burdensome, but that does not mean that shining deeds are not performed. Knights in tin- days of chivalry fought twenty minutes for the ladies they loved ; the modern business man fights all during his life to make a living for the woman he loves. The old artificial courtesy is gone. Naturalness is the theme of modern chivalry. Honor, Beauty, Truth, are just as pre- valent today as always, but they are not masked under super- fluous actions. Don ' t condemn today ' s knights ; instead, admire the cour- age which sends them out each day to face one of the most difficult eras the world has known.
