“We won’t allow the future to outpace us.”

Believe it or not, I found this ad for Celanese on ebay when I searched for “Rice Institute.” It took me a minute to see why it came up:

I don’t know the date, the magazine, or anything else but I find the combination of Magritte and Celanese enchanting.

Incidentally, Celanese has a pretty good historical timeline that might appeal to those of you who like this sort of thing. They’ve been into a lot of stuff over the years. It’s at this link.

Bonus: I’m out of town for a meeting today but several people sent pictures of a beautiful rainbow that appeared over campus this morning. The best one came from reader Kat Kosted, who took it from the 6th floor of the Cambridge Office Building. Thanks!

Also, I have a travel day tomorrow and might not be back here until Wednesday. Don’t panic.
