FRANCES ALAN MEEHAN In 1949 Al was stricken with polio. He was in his sophomore year at Loyola. His illness forced him to withdraw from school. By virtue of great personal courage and intestinal fortitude, Al has returned to Loyola, though handicapped as he is. We sincerely thank Al Meehan for showing us how to turn defeat into victory. 6

REV. JOSEPH K. DRANE, S. J. Dean, Loyola College TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1951 My brief connection with Loyola College and yourselves does not allow me to address you here with the same personal intimacy which other members of our Faculty have enjoyed with you. None the less, 1 believe that I can say that, during your last year here at Loyola, I have observed among the members of your class tokens of the maturer point of view that comes with the completion of the courses in a Jesuit College. I believe that many of you have demon- strated your appreciation of the responsibilities of a Catholic College Graduate. You recognize the obligation you now have of carrying into your various occupational environments your knowledge of Catholic Culture, Catholic Ideals, and your Catholic Religion. You are aware that the contribution, which our Democracy needs to receive, of Catholic thought and Catho- lic good example must come from yourselves. I am confident you understand these state- ments and the obligations they connote for your- selves. It is my sincerest wish that your com- munity will profit by your living up to them and that you will thrive by exercising them. I hope that your connection with Loyola College and with the advancement of Catholic Education will continue. I hope you will in- creasingly become aware that what this little College has tried to do for you, you must try to do for others through this same Catholic In- stitution. The work of Catholic Education is far too serious and far too vast for me not to remind you that you must remain actively interested in it. Sincerely, Dean (REV.) JOSEPH K. DRANE, S. J.
