REV. STEPHEN A. MULCAHY, S.J. Dean College of Arts and Sciences A parting word to a graduating class is always difficult, this even in the most normal circumstances. In time of national crises when one pauses to consider the tremendous possibilities of the near future, the difficult tasks which must be undertaken immediately and with what consequences, to say goodbye becomes exceedingly hard. Yet Alma Mater feels that you are fully equipped for any emergency, that you will acquit yourselves nobly in any task set before you, that you have the answers to all the questions and the moral courage to live by those answers. She knows that you as your elder brothers will come back to her with your shield or on it. And so she bids you a fond Godspeed and God bless you! Stephen A. Mulcahy, S.J.

LP%s±Ldsnt± y {s±±aas During these shortened years at college you have been standing in a coign of vantage from which you have been able to see in perspective, and to understand, as far as under- standing of such things is granted us, the mounting into cosmic forces of the vast human drives — love of country, desire of possessions, the lure of power. You have been able to see, also, the first faint lines of the order into which chaos is being directed, and you know whither those lines must lead if the world is to regain peace. In one way or another each of you must play his part, first in repelling violence, later in re- establishing the harmony of God ' s plan. May God ' s grace always be with you that you may realize fully the hopes which have been placed in you. Very Rev. William J. Murphy, SJ.
