5. o the members of the Class of 1945 who have unselfishly given up the happiest days of their youth, who have left their homes and friends, who have abandoned their college preparation for life, in order to defend their native land from the aggression of the enemy, and to all the students, alumni, and faculty of Boston College who fight side by side on the battlefields of the world, inspired by the American Ideals which they were taught to know and love under the towers on the Heights, who offer their whole beings in the cause of Freedom — freedom from fear and want, freedom of speech and freedom of religion — who are sacrificing their careers and ambitions, their lives and hopes, to realize their dream and our nation ' s desire — that the world may become a sound Christian society — This, the Sub Turri of the Class of 1945, in token of admiration, is respect- fully dedicated.

jroreword J, N ordinary years, after the separation that follows graduation, a class has its Sub Turri as a storehouse of memories, but this Sub Turri is also a maker of memories. The Class of ' 45 began to scatter almost as soon as it came into existence and its members have scarcely any common memories of four years. None of the class saw four calendar years of college days; those of the class who have completed the full course present this Sub Turri as an attemp t to restore memories of experiences that have been ours and to make memories of experiences that normally would have been ours. If in the pages of this book we can feel even a little of four years of Gothic towering over a linden campus, four years of Religion and the Fine Arts, four years of always to excell , — then ive have a glimpse of our youth that was to be, and this Sub Turri is a success.
