BRESCIA COLLEGE OWENSBOR0, KENTUCKY 42301 OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT Dear All of You, Fourteen years ago I came to Brescia as president, the campus was small, the stu- dent body numbered about seven hundred and the budget was S290,000. Today, the value of the campus has increased by more than four million dollars, the student body is gradually approaching one thousand and the budget is over Sl,OO0,000. Change? Yes rapid change. This rapid change will be the hallmark of the future and, I trust, con- tinued growth will be the hallmark of Brescia College. ' As I reflect upon the students of Brescia, I find the same seriousness of purpose, the same sense of belonging and the same spirit of cooperation as in the past. The in- scription on the gift you gave me, Much love and many thanks is a message I shall always cherish because it speaks so well the kind of relationship we have always tried to maintain. Brescia still pursues the values inherent in a liberal education which should re- sult in the development of a unique human person with a strong Christian sense of responsibility to all of reality which certainly includes a deep sense of the dignity of the human person. Father I-Iesburgh of Notre Dame University declares that unless a Christian college conveys this sense of respect for the person it has failed in its mission. If we, you and I, look at all the crimes committed against PERSON in our world today, euthanasia, abortion, napalmed Vietnamese, deaths due to violence, hunger, etc., we have to ask the honest question: Why has so much Christian education gone astray? What has happened to the respect for life and the dignity of person we talk so much about? Are we as Christian educators and students paying only lip service to the words of our philosophy which calls for Christian living and Christian responsibility to neighbor? These are questions difficult to answer. If we are serious about the search for truth and our pursuit of understanding, we have to face the challenge which they pose else we are being untrue to our real selves and we are hiding the life we were given to share. There is no pat answer, each of us must find it for himself. There is a need to examine one's values, to have some awareness of one's self-identity. This takes time, it takes prayer, it takes self revelation. I would suggest that you find time, on a regular basis, to be alone, to find your center where you will discover the person you really are. It is only in solitude that inner freedom grows and that power is given usg that we slowly unmask the illusion of our possessiveness and discover that being is more important than having. Life is not a possession to be defended but a gift to be shared. Jesus went to a lonely place to pray -- to grow in the awareness that all the power he had, the words he spoke, and the works he performed came from his Father. Through his aloneness with the Father in prayer he gave us a set of values which ,in a simple yet profound manner point out to us the Way, the Truth and the Life which not only lead to the Father but enable us to reach out to our brothers and take them with us. This Way is that of the beatitudes, Blessed are the poor, the meek, the pure of heart -- you know the rest. There is the promise of the Kingdom to those who live them. My prayer for you is that you reach the Kingdom and that I may meet you there. God bless you. Devotedly, gm ' 104
