for the Future . . . Even the towers and classrooms of Boston College play their silent, but indis- pensable part in the observance of the Holy Year and the attainment of the papal petitions for youth. For, the buildings of Boston College have a twofold function. Tabernacles of truth and learning, they also serve, by virtue of their design, to point to the one way, the one life and the one truth required of mankind: Christlikeness. If they realize this dual goal, they have indeed fulfilled the aims of their creators.

THROUGH A KNOWLEDGE OF GOD In an era when thoughtless men hurl their insults at the very notion of God, Boston College, ever the guardian of truth, strives even more diligently to focus the intellects of her students upon the One, Great, Eternal Reality,— God. In giving students intellectual grounds for their belief in God, Boston College may rejoice that she has always taught the truths which the Holy Father desires to be promulgated with increased fervor during the 1950 Holy Year. There have been those who have ridicided the emphasis which Boston Col- lege, and all other Catholic colleges place upon theology as a part of the cur- riculum. To men of such dispositions, Boston College addresses a question which they can never answer: Quid hoc ad aeternitatem? With all the resovuces of Sacred Scripture, reason and tradition at her command, Boston College insists upon and proves that from the Person of Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, radiates a whole system of religion. For Christ is pre-eminently a sun, from whose radiant center stream forth the bright rays of divine truths that consti- tute the complete revelation of God to man.
