Students who chose Carroll College a decade ago came to the college at a time when we were approaching the end of an era when established procedure described the College as a vehicle for the transmission of our Catholic inheritance; students who came to Carroll were molded in the traditional patterns and grew to love their Alma Mater because of the surety of firm faith she showed forth and passed on to her students. In 1970, those who come to Carroll find the College in a world that is mostly frustrated with uncertainty, with individual persons searching for values that give meaning to life. In a frantic effort to achieve excellence in our technology, with advancement, disappointment has come our way as we find our society plagued with the disease of its own technological success. The bigger, the better, the faster no longer seem important; and college as a means to participate and to compete effectively in our technological society, even for a higher salary, has lost its attraction for us. More than ever before, Carroll College must be prepared to lead young men and women to an appreciation of the basic Christian values and humanistic ideals that can give meaning and purpose to life within whatever context it must be lived. With her students, the faculty of Carroll College engages in that search which will allow men and women to grow, to decide, and to affirm again the values for which Carroll College was brought into being. In this mission Carroll College continues to hold up for us the models we see in the lives of Jesus and the Saints. One can be proud he chose Carroll College as his school only if he is able to make the decisions which bring him into the company of the Saints, those men and women who are able to give much more than they receive. To the extent that the Christian life style grows in her students, Carroll College was for the individual the successful and right choice. m 19
