Foreword Forward, upward, outward — from the age of to- day to the era of tomorrow, from the auto and air age to the space age. In the Y r when man may break the space barrier, the subject of the space age is especially important. It is a symbol of man ' s attempts to reach out, to become more modern, to break down the walls of tradition, according to a familiar phrase. ONE OF THE symbols of the space age is the spire of the new Chapel-Auditorium, dedicated early last fall, and used in various ways in the art throughout this book. The point stretches toward the sky as a symbol of man ' s reaching toward God, even in the space age. There is also a reaching out into the future. One example of the church ' s looking into the future was the ALC merger with two other Lutheran bodies on January 1, 1961, thereby forming the new TALC. Modernism is expressed in many ways — in art, in education, in civilization as a whole. Modernism and its symbols are almost synonymous with the space age. MAY THIS 1961 edition of ihe FORTRESS not only look back to the past and present events, but reach out into the future. It is the hope of the editors that, were this FORTRESS put into a time capsule to be opened in a hundred y ars or more, it would ac- curately present a picture of life ai Wartburg Col- lege today as well as show future generations that Wartburg College 1960-61 was on the right track toward preparing for their era. The first man-made object went into space in October, 1957. Next to go into space was man him- self in April of this year. Soon man will be on the moon and the closest planets. Blast off with us now through the pages of this, your 1961 FORTRESS.
