Regis College - Ranger Yearbook (Denver, CO)

Page 27 text:

It is once again my pleasure to address this letter to you graduates and students of Regis. I hope that you share my feelings of satisfaction and expecta- tion as we end the 1957-58 school year. It has been an exciting as well as an exacting year. The excitement has been due in large measure to the thrill of seeing the campus transformed into a more attractive setting for the business of education. O ' Connell Hall and the Student Center have added greatly to our ability to adequately care for the growing student population. I have frequently received your assurances that the new buildings and land- scaping have added to your pleasure during the year. Living quarters were more enjoyable and more comfortable, and study easier and more efficient. Eating facilities, as well as recreational and leisure-time areas, were improved many times with the opening of the Student Center. The campus itself was made more attractive. All of these things, I believe, are in part responsible for another improve- ment: that of student morale, cooperation and leadership. In these areas par- ticularly I feel we have made great progress during the past year, and I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank and congratulate those who have been responsible. To you seniors, I am sure you are fully cognizant of the problems and re- sponsibilities you are about to meet, but I would like to single out one area in particular in which I hope you will concentrate some portion of your future activities. It may sound strange, coming as it does as you graduate from college, but I would encourage you to continue the education you have begun at Regis. Whether your future education be of the formal type in a graduate school of your choice, or of the informal variety in your personal reading and research, you have not only the privilege but the obligation to make your ideas and judg- ments felt in the various fields you will enter. We are living in a materialistic society, but your training has shown the false values which underlie this type of philosophy. Your continued mental and spiritual growth and the application of your wisdom to large and small prob- lems are obligations I am confident you can meet with courage and distinction. May God prosper you always. Sincerely, RICHARD F. RPVN, S.J. President Page 23
