Loyola University Maryland - Evergreen / Green and Gray Yearbook (Baltimore, MD)

Those to Whom We Dedicate We, the members of the Senior Class, deem if most fitting that our yearbook be dedicated to those of our classmates who voluntarily interrupted their college careers to answer the call of our country. We have passed through the turbulence of four years of dubious peace. We entered Loyola in September, 1948, eager to make the most of our opportunity, anticipating new experiences, new acquaintances and new ideas. In the sophomore year, conditions of questionable international tranquility cast a shadow over our aspira- tions. During the interval between the second and third year at Loyola, the Korean conflict broke. It became obvious to us that we might not be able to complete our college careers in 1952. The questions posed themselves: Should we enlist or should we continue our studies. Is this development really a “police action” or is it war? It was difficult for our superiors to advise us. The decision was our own. Many of us joined reserve units and the National Guard. The majority decided to con- tinue college and wait for further developments, hoping that graduation might arrive before the call became imminent. The men on the opposite page have sulfered their careers to be interrupted. Our prayers are with them. May God see them through to the completion of the plans they began in 1948!
