JOHN HENRY CARDINAL NEWMAN This year has been a critical year in the history ot civilization, witness- ing the end oi a terrible war and the dawn ol a new era whose possibili- ties stagger the imagination. Within the Catholic Church also, we have celebrated a memorable event. This year marlis the hundredth anniversary oi the conversion of one of the Churchis most renowned Catholic leaders. Un October 8, 1845, a rainswept night, Littlemore, England, witnessed one ot the greatest events in its history. Father Dominic baptized a man whom all England had come to lcnow as a fellow ot Oriel, rector ot St. lViary's, and the leader ot the famous Oxford Movement . . . John Henry Newman. From this century-old conversion the twentieth century searcher alter truth has found comfort and the Catholic student has found in Newman's conversion the inspiration ot an absorbing love ot God, an heroic courage ot conviction, and a scholarship that begets Catholic leadership. John Henry Cardinal Newman was a hero. May this needed heroism find counterpart in us as Hi'ieart spealceth to heart.
