IT is not our purpose to write at length of the founder of the Society of Jesus The familiar words Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam are an epitome of the character and spirit of Saint Ignatius Loyola. For, if greatness is the capacity to visual ze a worthy ob-ective and to strive heroically towards it, regardless of obstacles, then Ignatius was great, and great is the Society he founded. Glorious as have been the manifold successes of the Jesuits, in the sphere of education their prowess has displayed itself to best advantage. Here the same motive oredominates — the glory of God as the ultimate end of all human endeavor. The early fathers of the Society, imbued with the spirit of their founder, saw in the education of youth a most fertile field for their labors. With characteristic earnestness they set to work, under their general, Claude Aquaviva, to create a uniform code for the guidance cf future educators in the Society. After months and years of consideration, selection, rejection, the Ratio Studiorum was adopted as the Jesuit method of education, a systen which has remained essentially unchanged since its ratification in 1 599.

The Spirit of the Ratio is contained in the two words which are the motto of Fordham University, Sapientia et Doctrina. Doctrina pre-eminence in every branch of learning, thorough, profound knowledge, yet always governed by Saoientia true wisdom, the realization that sheer learning, learning as an end, not as a means to a higher goal, is as useless as it is pernicious. For four years our welfare has been the concern, our education the chosen duty, and our guidance the sacred trust of the members of the Society of Jesus. We have been trained in knowledge and in wisdom by men who are masters of the profane sciences, yet who, with a sweet and gentle persistence, have ever kept our eyes fixed on our ultimate goal -the glory of God and our salvation. Hence, our degree will signify more than mere proficiency in learning. It will be a guarantee that we stand accredited Catholic gentlemen, faithful to the traditions of Fordham, worthy of the title, :o$ter sons of Saint Ignatius Loyola.
