Mulcahy De 7« o College of Arts and Sciences Message to the Graduates: Never perhaps in the history of this country has there been a greater need of a well-instructed and articulate body politic than there is at the present time. The general public is responding to the challenge and is daily growing more in- terested and better equipped than ever before to exercise an intelligent participation in its civic duties. It no longer is content to sit at home and let its representatives in local, state or national government form its opinions. It rather tends to for- mulate the policy of its representatives. That it may do so wisely and well it needs direction and such direction as you can give as a result of your solid education, your healthy attitude, your uncompromising spirit with the forces of evil. To you much has been given and of you much will be expected in the protection of the home, the state and the Church.

Rev. James J. Kelly Dean of Co lege Business Adm. Gentlemen of the Class of 1948: As your student days at Boston College pass into history, we of your Faculty sincerely regret that our period of daily companionship with you has ended — But we are glad, too, be- cause of your achievement and because we see the broad horizon of Boston College becoming more extensive and more glorious as you, her sons, deploy in specific fields of action. During your undergraduate days you have borrowed assiduously from the rich patrimony of past scholarship, you have developed constantly the discipline of subjecting self to the refining influ- ence that comes from daily communion with the revealed truths of God and the best thought of man — and doing this, you have conquered the vestiges of personal pettiness and vanity, you have possessed the spiritual values of life. Give generously of that which you have received. Re- member always that the greatness of your College and your own real success will be measured by the greatness of your service to the people of your State, your Nation, your World and your God.
