AND SHARE THE SPLENDOR The five towers of Boston College are a reminder to all who move in their majestic shadows of the transitory nature of the things of this world. They point the way to eternal values, to the only lasting realities, to the One, Infinite, Eternal God. In this respect the founders and builders of Alma Mater gave rich, masterful expression to the hopes and aspirations of those zealous Catholics whose mites made this grandeur possible. Have they labored well in your behalf, gentlemen of the Class of 1949? Have we even remotely approached the measure of their sacrifice for the greater glory of God? Have you made firm your resolution to be a worthy heir to the traditions and blessings of your Boston College, Jesuit education? Whatever our answers may be, we will find that the five towers of Boston College assume new significance after contemplation of the prayer of dedication which the second Founder of Boston College, Very Rev. Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., uttered thirty- six years ago in the vaulted Rotunda beneath the first and greatest of our towers : May this edifice ever have upon it the blessings of the Most High; may it ever be the source of honor and of joy to the Church and her rulers; may it ever be the pro- tection of the people and a firm bulwark to the country which we love so well, and to the State of which we are so justly proud. The Science Hall of Boston College manifests a practical, straight-forward design entirely in keeping with its na- ture. Its distinctiveness among the other buildings arises from its expansive piazza and the graceful tourelle which crowns its arched and beautifully elaborated entrance.
