We ' ve all heard it — truth is the best combatant of falsehood, as good is of evil. These thoughts are expressed so often as to be common-place, but this in no way destroys their validity or significance. We also know that the present malign champion of immorality under the standard of materialism feeds upon and effuses spiritual decay and material poverty. To combat, counteract, and win the battle against this force the world must espouse and propagate spiritual health and the necessities of material welfare. . When we recognize the truth of these considerations the sustenance and develop- ment of the Creighton university becomes ever more imperative to each one of us. This is so because Creighton stands for and upholds those very principles which immorality seeks to pull down to its own degraded position of despair and lamentation. Creighton looks first to ultimate ends, then to the things of this world as means to that ultimate end. But the university realizes that this life must first be dealt with and lived well before an eternal reward can be granted. Thus Creighton prepares its students for the duties of a practical life in the world, but with a goal set in eternity. The education of Creighton nurtures the health of both the soul and the body. It prepares the student for earning his way in the world to the benefit of himself and mankind. Its courses in science especially attend to the needs of the body. But whether the education is found in liberal arts, law, or medicine its forces fuse to combat error and evil, and to alleviate the distresses of body and soul by promoting bodily health and spiritual prosperity. The students, past, present, and future of Creighton should acknowledge the vital concern each of them has in the preservation and development of the university. Prevalent economic conditions have created a turbulent path for private institutions. If possible we should remember the university through material sustenance, but always we should add spiritual support through publicizing the benefits of Creighton through our actions. We should acknowledge the friendship that Creighton has extended to each of us. and in acknowledgment support the university in hopes for a better world in which to live. 15
