But. as 1 have pictured tin Chinook staff at work so often during this non-resident year of mine, they too are working some miracles. They are catching the news which is too good to print, the poses which cannot he kept, and even the spirit of the Class of 1930, and sending these down the long line of 1931, 1932, 1933— In 1950. the pages of your Chinook will bring back the pleasant realities of 1930. You can be where you will, and yet enjoy the campus scenes of now.

CHINOOK The lean’s Message Modern—magic word. At once our imagination conjures the miracle of the robot, the wonders of man’s invasion of the air, the genius of the race that is breaking with tradition and blazing new trails in the universe. We expand with pride, and justly, at what the mind of man can accomplish. But lest we become arrogant let us not forget that happiness depends upon the heart and not the head, upon what we feel and not what we think. While our world has changed our selves have not. Such old-fashioned virtues as love and duty, in still small voices, proclaim the age old importance of human relationships in personal happiness and the progress of the race. May you as moderns continue to value these virtues and thus become the masters and not the victims of modernism. 1930
