A CENTURY OF PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION BLDG. CHICAGO RUFUS C. DAWES PRESIDENT February 5, 1934. Mr. Duncan C. Augustine, Editor, The Phoenician, Johnstown, Penna. My dear Sir: A Century of Progress Exposition distinct- ly confined its attention to the enlargement of human knowledge, or science, and the application of science in industry for the comforts of men. The progress it celebrated consisted in better adjustment to physical environment. It did not even raise the question as to whether this ad- vance in physical science would increase the happiness and welfare of men in their social and spiritual lives. I think you will not find any word in the Greek or Latin language which, being translated, conveys the conception that is carried by the word Progress . Very truly yours

FOREWORD During the few short years of its existence, the American nation has carved a place for itself in the records of human- ity through the steps it has taken in the progress of man, fostered by a spirit of democracy. Now celebrating the first cen- tury of this progress, it is looking forward with re- newed spirit to the future. With this spirit as its in- spiration and with the Century of Progress ex- position as its symbol, the Phoenician is cele brating the progress of the High School and of its members and is tak- ing a step forward itself in pioneering in a new and modern form of year- book design.
