f 7 AO Xlll1ff ' .Tw 7 Fast moving progress marks the contemporary world, as expan- sion and development keynote industry, politics and thought. At the same time many a hazard and pitfall accompanies such advances. So true is this that it now appears that man may be soon overrun by his own rapid advancement, and become buried in a materializ- ing mass of his own making. To forestall this danger society must summon her strength and provide our vastly needed leadership. It is on the shoulders of the educational system that this responsibility lies heaviest. This does not mean only scholastic achievement, but rather is there need for men of strong character, men whose speculations are true and whose judgments are sharp and decisive. The Bellarmine system of education, with its emphasis on the well-rounded man, strives to engender such character and to de- velop that keenness of mind so necessary to meet current problems. The effective training of man's greatest faculty, his intellect, in the ways of wisdom and truth will ever be the goal of the Bellarmine man. emn of th Int llect

tudent Gro th Incr Four centuries ago, the jesuit System of edu- cation showed only labored beginnings of an insignificant few. Now it shines forth as a stirring monument to youth. Ever since its foundation in 1851, Bellarmine has employed that system of education and enjoyed the suc- cess of building men of foresight and char- acter. Under the direction of Reverend XY'illiam Keenan, SJ., rector of Bellarmineg Father W'illiam Corvi, SJ. assists as principal. Wfith a teaching faculty of thirty-five members, the largest student body of its history convenes daily on the College Park Campus. Any system of education is influenced by its physical facilities and Bellarmine is proud of her recent achievements along these lines. W'ith much gratitude to those who made them pos- sible, the faculty and students make full use of recently added classroom and library wings which did so much to facilitate her extensive program. 0 Rev Ioseph M Costa SI Rev William P COYVI SI Mr, Henry A, George Vice Pnnctpcxl Principal Reqisu-at
