RECTOR'S MESSAGE The close of your four years at Canisius is almost simultaneous with the end, of bloodshed and cruelty all over the world. It will befor you then to rebuild the soci- ety that we were not wise enough to build well.Yours is the opportunity and neces- sity to find successfully the formula that will enable all of us, to live together as peaceful people. Q The mistakes of our generation need not be your mistakes. The lessons that we learned at the bitter price of global war you may profit by. The blunders in under- standing and cooperation that we made you can correct. The failures that were ours you should never repeat. Peace is built by the individual in his dealings with others. Here you have learned for four years, on the ball field, in the class room, in debate and club room the value of getting along with your fellows. Your most cherished memories will always be of the times you spent working or playing with your friends. Those memories are the seeds of peace in your own lives and in the life of the world. Keep those memo- ries. Join to them the ideals you have learned here.Add the spirit of prayer and hard, cooperative work and you have the beginnings of that formula for peace that we were too blind to see. God bless you and give courage to your hearts for the task that lies ahead of you. Sincerely in Christ James J. Redmond, S.J. 6
