REV. JOHN BAPST, S.J. First President and a Challenge Gasson, Bapst, Fulton, Devlin, Lyons. These are the men who fashioned Boston College, who put the imprint of their own character upon the institution and upon us. They are the men whose ideas and convictions form a large part of our heritage, and whose courage, determina- tion, and dedication are to us a challenge. For just as they shaped and molded and gave form and meaning to the tradition which was theirs, so too must we make of the tradition which they have passed on to us a living thing, a body of ideas and ideals which is different and better for having been communicated by us. We must, following their example, firmly stamp the tradi- tion of today with the enduring mark of our own char- acter. This is a process that encompasses a man ' s whole life and work, and the extent to which he succeeds is a true and accurate yardstick of his greatness. Gasson, Bapst, Fulton, Devlin, and Lyons gave themselves wholly to this task, and their success and greatness is fittingly cele- brated in the monuments which constitute the university they fashioned. Our own molding of the traditions passed on by these men began the day we entered Boston College, and it will continue through the rest of our lives. The success with which we have begun this task can be measured by our accomplishments as we know them and as they are set forth in this book. We have established no monuments. The challenge of our heritage still awaits us. REV. CHARLES W. LYONS, S.J. Fourteenth President
