1 1 We would like to recognize here a contribution to the life of Belmont Abbey which we consider especial- ly valuable. Occasionally, one finds an administrator whose use of his power gives guidance and inspira- tion to those around him — a man whose personal authority rests on integrity and devotion to principle, and whose firmness can not be resented, because it is impartial and demands no more of others than of itself. Such a man does whatever is right and reason- able, without concern over whether it will make him personally liked or feared By so doing, he incidental- ly achieves one striking result: he is both warmly liked and truly respected. To such a man we respect- fully dedicate the 1959 Spire. We wish by this dedi- cation to acknowledge our debt to FATHER RAPHAEL G. BRIDGES, O.S.B., Dean of Men of Bel- mont Abbey College. We have profited greatly from his services to us as dean, teacher, and friend. ■■« • DEDICATION
