Working zealously in an effort to germinate in young Catholic manhood the seed of true Christianity, Bishop Alter taught his charges the spiritual responsibility which the Catholic man of today must accept. Our Bishop has set an example which accurately charts and directs our course of living toward heavenly channels. His peerless guidance has left in us an enduring impression which cannot fail to find its way into our future. We express our deep apprecfation for his fatherly solicitude, his personal interest in our beloved alma mater and his continued support of all our undertakings. May Almighty God grant him richest blessings and strength to carry on, his struggle against the onslaughts of modern evil.
