DEDICATION 1 N the midst of darkness and terror such as has been known I w .2 r . . .. . ,Z our power-lusting civilization seems bent on self-destruction but few times in the history of the world, at this time when for greed's sake, now that man is locked in bloody combat with his fellow-brother like a pair of mad dogs oblivious of anything but their mutual hate, a plea for a return to world peace seems out of place if not ridiculous. To ask a return to sanity of power-drunk dictators and avari- cious empires, struggling at death grips upon blood-sodden battlefields of Europe, seems the very height of insanity. Yet that is the plea of this book. In the hope that the rulers of today will realize the futility of Warfare, that they will seek, not the selfish ambitions of their own desire, but rather the happiness which is found only in the Christian peace of Christ's reign, in the hope that Almighty God in the person of the Holy Ghost will once again send the savor and light of His Divine Wisdom and understanding upon a world that has deliber- ately forgotten Him, that Our Blessed Virgin and holy St. Joseph intercede for a motherless and fatherless people lost in internecine struggle, this Raven is humbly dedicated to a speedy return to universal Catholic Peace.

THE RAVEN MAGAZINE seeks to preserve all the golden memories of our underclass days at St. Bene- dict's College. Those long confabs with our fellow students, moonlight walks with our best girl, live- liest classes with our favorite professors and all the sensations engendered by the sheer joy of being alive and irresponsible are the object of this book's concem. The Raven is not to be read lightly and tossed aside. Rather it is to be not, merely a storehouse of all our memories of college days, but a catalyzer to touch off our imaginations in time to come, and as we reread it and day dream of pleasures long since past, we can relive these happy days. This is The Raven.
