THROUGH A KNOWLEDGE OF MAN The study of scholastic philosophy is an integral part of the system of educa- tion at Boston College and every other Jesuit college. Deriving its place of precedence from the counsels of the Ratio atque Institutio Sludiorum, it is one of the most ennobling pursuits of Jimior and Senior Years, and rightly so. For scholastic philosophy enjoys a relationship to theology not unlike that of cjueen to king. Working hand in hand, each of these two sciences, one secular, the other sacred, points out to man the ways of truth and justice and the goal of existence. In one treatise after another, scholastic philosophy discerns, dis- sects and destroys the subtleties and inconsistencies of error and falsehood and thus makes a faith founded upon reason feasible. The value of this study has often been cpiestioned by the disciples of skepticism and relativism. To them and to all men, Boston College presents the great lives and names which have been made realities by the maturing influence of scholastic philosophy. Time and men may have tried scholastic philosophy, but it has never been found M ' antina;.
