Not only do the monks of St. Benedict's teach the true way but in their every- day living they practice it and give their students an example to follow. The various prefects are always ready to lend a sympathetic ear to their charges' trials and tribulations, and are never too busy to give them a word of advice. They are not only leaders in t.he religious and educa- tional fields, they are friends to be long remember- ed simply as friends.
