Students partake in the Mass of the Holy Ghost preceding the Fall Convocation. FALL CONVOCATION Members of the graduating class and faculty are led by members of the Knights of Columbus to the convocation. The academic year 1961-1962 was formally begun at Regis College with the 1961 Fall Con- vocation. Once again, the faculty and students renewed their minds and bodies to the endeavor of an intellectual life through the pursuit of knowledge. Following the invocation by Monsignor Walter Canavan, and the salutation by the presi- dent of the college, the Very Reverend Richard F. Ryan, S.J. the convocation address entitled A More Excellent Way, was given by the Very Reverend Edward J. O ' Donnell, S.J. President of Marquette University. In the address, he pointed out that in the Jesuit schools of the 16th century, opportunities for education were opportunities for greatness, and this greatness was expected of the students. He explained that this expectation should be revived today in our schools if we are to cope with the insecurity of our society. Intellectual excellence is of value not only to our- selves, but for what it can mean for the cause of God. In concluding, Fr. O ' Donnell stated that the future strength of Regis depends upon the intellectual achievements of her faculty and students. 20
