PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This is 1950. The middle of a century. It has been a year of promise to some of our students and a year of fulfillment for others. I hope that to none has it been a wasted year. Each year is what you make it. What will you give? What will you take? There is usually a balance. Fifty years is a long time— before it is gone, but no time at all when it is spent. Interesting things have happened in the last fifty years, and despite the ravens that croak, even more interesting things will be happening fifty years from now. Act well your part and have no fear. Sincerely, RUSH JORDAN. (4)

CHANCELLOR'S MESSAGE Have you who are students given thought to the purposes which lie back of the maintenance of the Western Montana College of Education? Do you realize that you are the folks to whom will be intrusted the development of Montana's richest resources? The farms and ranches, the mines and forests of our state and nation, important as they are, rate second when we think of the children of our commonwealth. These little neighbors of ours, the youngsters next door, or down the street, or on distant ranches, they comprise our most valuable resources because they are the citizens of tomorrow. It is for them that your college continues to function in its essential service of teacher education. It is for them, too, that you must make the most of your opportunities to become able members of the great profession of teaching. In your CHINOOK for 1950, you have recorded the interesting activities of the college year. May the accounts of your important achievements always be a source of pleasure and inspiration. May they also keep you close in spirit to your Alma Mater when you have left the campus to meet beckoning challenges that await you in the broad fields beyond. GEO. A. SELKE, Chancellor University of Montana (5)
