Ill: III CATION • • TP HE romantic figure of Paul Bunyan has become the patron saint of the 1932 edition of Minnesota's oldest tradition. The mythical legends told by the lumberjacks portray Paul as the hero of all time, for he was not only the greatest logger, but the first orator, the big business man, the greatest farmer, and the most renowned fighter. To him are accredited the construction of the Ten Thousand Lakes, the Mississippi River, the Black Hills, the Great Lakes, the iron industry and many other things characteristic of Minnesota and the Northwest. In presenting the forty-fifth volume of the Gopher, the editors have attempted to portray in its art theme, not only the legends of Paul Bunyan, but the strength and vigor of the North country. Minnesota is known as the land of lakes and pines, the North Star state, ami of all this, there is nothing more characteristic than the All-American myth, Paul Bunyan.
