E. O. HOLLAND, President of the State College of Washington, B. A. University of Indiana. 1895; Ph. D. Columbia University, 1912 l vURING the great World War, eighty-five percent of the officers in the Ameri- can army were college men. During the great world depression, college men and women are being used by the various states and the federal government in the relief work which touches the lives of over twelve millions of our workers. The battles to be fought during this period of economic depression, and the policies to be adopted in connection with these problems will very largely be determined by the colleges and universities of America. In these better days to come, I venture a prediction that college men who have prepared themselves adequately for some profession or business will receive honor and definite financial reward for the service they can render. In a great democracy such as ours there must be competent leadership with vision and sacrificial service on the part of the best educated. Only with such leadership can the stability, prosperity and contentment of our people be secured. J iLcuu 12

ENOCH A. Bryan, President Emeritus Research Professor of Economics and Economic History ]pr. £. A • Bryan I T WAS the class of 1900 during its junior year which had the initiative to undertake so daring an enterprise as the publication of a college annual. The third class was about to be ush¬ ered forth into a heartless world when class number four, by a bold stroke, placed its colleagues on the pages of written history. With the exception of the next year, every class since has contributed its volume to our history, and the Chinook is now as much of an institution as any other part of the State College of Washington. The Chinook has seen the college grow with its growth and strengthen with its strength. While such a vol¬ ume must, in the nature of the case, present the annals of the college gener¬ ations, yet it reflects truly their his¬ tory. Whether in athletics or speech or other activities on or off the campus, it is a story reflecting honor on the alma mater. { OSMAR L. WALLER, Vice-President Emeritus Dr. Q L Waller S TATE COLLEGE graduates are mak¬ ing good in the world’s work. Ad¬ ministrators and teachers in turn are made happy by the evidences of the successful work done by the State Col¬ lege students. An educational institu¬ tion is always to be measured by the success and usefulness of its graduates in helping to develop the resources of the state and of society. A wise teacher will never lose an op¬ portunity to help a student acquire a correct understanding and an interest in the fundamentals of subjects stud¬ ied, and to keep before him the service such studies will ultimately render in a life work. The student should commence to make a study of the things he is inter¬ ested in very early in his educational program, keeping in mind that suc¬ cess will depend upon interest in the professional work he is selecting for a £ life’s job. 14 —
