Alma M ater salutes both you who are about to leave us and your former classmates who may be found in every part of the world, be it stifling jungle or frozen steppe. She is proud of you and of those who have gone before you. Some have already proved their worth in a very realistic way and have reduced to practice the principles they learned beneath these towers. You too who tarry but a little longer in the shadow of the familiar Gothic will soon be called to bear witness to the value of your training. In the testing, be it in the civilian or mili- tary sphere, you will prove no less worthy of your Alma Mater. There are difficult days ahead but you are ready. May God bless you and keep you ! Rev. Stephen A. Mulcahy, S.J.

f fedident i V le Saae f V, OU are the thin line, holding the tradition of the College through the years of the War. Because you are so few in number, we place all the greater confidence and hope in you. The world of men, whether they will it or not, must in the final count live by God ' s grace and by knowledge. Knowledge is power — for good, if true, for evil, if false. Truth and God ' s grace are your abundant heritage. I know that you will spend it generously for your country and for all men. Rev. William J. Murphy, SJ.

It is a strange and uncertain world you are entering on the mor- row. Most of your classmates have gone on before you into a mael- strom of strife and confusion. Truly the influences and activities of this strange world will test your intellectual and moral fibre almost to the breaking point. But in your admirable persistency and in the power of truth lies your victory — a victory Alma Mater confidently awaits because she knows that you will be ever loyal to her teachings and always mindful of the Ideal to which she has directed your vision of youth. May God and His abundant grace accompany you ! James J. Kelley, S.J.
