It pictures to you ( O the development that has been continual from the days of the Covered Wagon to the advent of the Airplane. You also have made progress during the years you have spent at Creighton. You have made this progress because you have availed yourselves of the opportunities and facilities which have been made possible for you of the present generation by those valiant men, educators and mission- aries, self-sacrificing heroes who braved the toils and difficulties of the Covered Wagon Era to bring civilization and culture to the West. Creighton has been for you a cherishing mother who has striven by means of her curriculum, her teachers, her student organizations and all extra-curricular activities, to instill into your hearts an ardent love of God, of Country, of Church, of your Fellow Man. She has en- deavored to prepare you for the service of mankind. She has watched you develop into learned, high-minded and honorable men and citizens. In her moral and religious training she has aimed always at building your conscience for the ri,ght fulfilment of your civil, social and re- ligious duties, and to this end she has given you instruction in the prin- ciples of religion which form the only solid basis of virtue and moral- ity. Seniors, it is not without a feeling of pride that we send you forth to take your places in the world of business, education, and the pro- fessions. You have merited well, and your Alma Mater honors you in your graduation. Go forth, bearing your responsibilities. May you carry peace and happiness and success into the lives of all those whom you shall serve, and may God ' s blessings be upon you always. [11]
