A Father's Blessing - urbi et orbi. THE WORLD MOURNS A LEADER--a leader for peace. Pius XII spoke, prayed, and worked for justice, freedom and order. His was the cause of Christ. His was the unremitting task of binding the wor1d'swounds, of rec- onciling brother to brother, of bridging the gap between East and West, es- pecially through us, today's youth. He was concerned about our education, our recreation, and our home life. The Holy Father knew that a better youth means a better world. While we, seniors, contemplated leaving our Alma Mater, His Holiness left this workaday world for a better one. But the Pontiff did not leave us without re- membrance. He willed us his dream, the vision of a prevailing Christian Social order, a world at peace. May we try to be worthy of this immense spiritual legacy. May his principles live on in us and in our posterity.
