In Arduis Servare Mentem . . . Albert J. VanSteenbergen Assistant Headmaster HEADMASTER’S MESSACxE The headmaster addresses the Student Council. Mrs. Geroghty, Mrs. Fitzgerald, and Mrs. Lyons. Nicholas Murray Butler, late President of Columbia Uni- versity, once said that “Education truly conceived is spir- itual growth toward intellectual and moral perfection, and is not an artificial process to be carried on according to mechanical formulas toward a purely material end. There are utilities higher and utilities lower, and if a school in its zeal to fit the youth for self-support were to neglect to lay the foundation for that higher intellectual and spiritual life which constitutes humanity’s full stature, it would sacrifice the higher utilities to the lower.” Fortunately the Class of 1965, along with the legions of past graduates, has received a training in the Humanities based on “spiritual growth toward intellectual and moral perfection.” Because of this education, you are fortified with knowledge and the know-why which will enable you to live the good life. Like the Latin School men of the past, you will be able to stand up and be counted upon to do your duty no matter the cost. Let the cause be just, you will be its defender, there-by inspiring those of lesser moral fiber. You will be leaders in our society of tomorrow, never forgetting the example of the host of leaders whose names adorn our hallowed hall. The latter excelled in many fields of endeavor but they all had one thing in common — a resolute determination to do their duty and excel in the area of talents with which their Ci’eator so generously endowed them. Plato tells us, “For a man to conquer himself is the first and best of all victories.” The long hard road through the Latin School which you have traversed proves the Philos- opher’s statement. You have done this by acquiring SELF- DISCIPLINE the sine-qua-non for success in life. You have the Humanities to thank for that priceless virtue. Be never unmindful of the debt you owe, your Masters, parents, and the good people of the City of Boston who made it possible for you to enjoy the privilege of attend- ing this venerable institution. Be loyal to B.L.S., aid her in every way, make her cause your cause. Make it a goal to help future Latin School boys to achieve a college edu- cation by being a generous donor to the Scholarship Funds. Above all heed the admonition of Horace, “Aequam mem- ento rebus in arduis servare mentem ”

T “The success of a school program depends idtimately on the strength of its faculty.” Perhaps these, the words of Phillip Marson, explain the success of the Latin School program: our faculty are devoted, are exacting, are almost inflexible. They alone can and 2vill maintain the standards ivhich, for over three centuries, have produced men who can think objectively. PRAE CEPTO 14
