PRESENTED by the JUNIOR CLASS of St. Joseph ' s College ror Women jofiewm Because fhou hasf asked . . . Wisdom to discern judgment . . . I have given thee a wise and understanding heart. 3 KINGS III II. 12 The candle of truth is lighted at Baptism, a flickering gleann to be fostered and nourished by grace and learning. But the fullness of truth rests in understanding, a clear illuminating brightness reached only by conscious, individual effort. The college years mark the beginning of this conscious striving. Progress is marked not by the accumulation of myriads of facts but by the ever brightening glow drawing us toward the Great Light, the First Truth. We seek the blinding brilliance of the Eternal Wisdom through the illumination of the wisdom of time. The pathway of truth is lighted by the wisdom of the ages. FOOT- PRINTS 1956, records our progress in the exploration of this wisdom. We have approached truth through the liberal arts tradition, the great custodian of the legacy of time. We have come by various ways, each with her own particular talents, to search out this legacy, to gain not only truth but understanding. We have chosen Light as our theme not merely because it casts out darkness but because it symbolizes joy. The highlights of these four years mark the warm glow of happy things bound by the strong rays of friend- ship grounded in understanding. It is our hope that the light of truth and joy kindled within us will spread until all is luminous with true understanding that we may lead others, walking steadily forward toward the Great Light, the Lumen Gloriae.
