THE THEME THE OLD and THE NEW M ANY years ago the young men were students of the great peda- gogues and listened to the stores about the gods and to the songs of the minstrels. If they became tired they quietly left the audience and nothing was said about their queer behavior because that was the custom of the time. Sometimes they heard about the stars, about mathematics, about soldiers, and about the laws of the land. Only the rich were afforded this opportunity to learn. Only the rich had the pleasure which the contact with others can bring to youth. • Today, students go to their schools to learn, but there have been many changes. Girls also attend classes and have equal chances to study. Rich and poor work side by side in a classroom. No longer do pupils sit idly listening to tales of adventure and lazily dreaming of past glories. Today ' s students are learning to live. Today ' s youth learns how to make the most of the present and dreams of what is to be in the future. They are alive, eager, responsive searching and probing a world that requires a quick mind to keep pace with the rapid changes. • In 1919 Tech was founded. This was the beginning in Hammond of the vocational type of school, the purpose of which was to put young people out into the world well equipped in the skills required in the trades, the office, and the home. It was a little place this first school poorly equipped, one teacher, and one pupil; but, it had ambitions, hopes, fore- sight, and dreams. Tech grew — an addition to the building, fifty teach- ers, one thousand pupils, but never did it lose the dreams it cherished. • Tech of the future visions a large new building, spacious grounds, ade- quately equipped shops and classrooms in keeping with the demands of this industrial community. Tech of the future will provide a gymnasium and auditorium to care for the physical and cultural development of the young men and women who will build a still newer community. • As the present becomes the past and the future becomes the present, Tech ever strives to keep pace with this changing world.
