w o R events with the impartial attitude of a student, will remain unknown. We cannot compare or contrast but only feel. Certainly we do know that, around us, there is a noticeable tendency to sever the necessary bonds of Christian faith and morality. The precepts of sodless men have found their way into every field of human endeavour. Their effects are witnessed in the lowering of personal responsibility, in the disregard of the sacredness of contracts, in the vicious attacks on marriage, family life and the Christian ideal of purity. To combat these, there must be crusaders of a new century. Catholic men trained in theology and philosophy, who, knowing these tendencies, can strive to remedy them. Only those who have a proclivity for applying to reality the theory of Catholic Action, — who are not tainted with the false ideals of a confused world, — can reach out and stem the tide of destruction. Thus we have used as our theme one which can be paralleled with our lives as students and can remind us of the means to a desired end. It unites as a whole, our divisions and serves as an inspiration to us, leaving forever the protecting influences of hands steadier than ours. We know it will be our reward to see once more a pure climbing sun enlighten the world with the gold light of truth. It will be ours after we have guided a small band of modern warriors to a conquest brought about by the applcation of Christian learning to daily practices, — by forwarding Catholic Action.
