IlIlllIlllllllll Strength and vitality in education do not lie in the size or form of the building in which it is taught. Strength and vitality in education do lie in the teaching and development of a sound way of life. Likewise the teaching and development must come from a strong and intel- lectual faculty which thinks and acts as a unit. Cretin proudly claims just such a teaching staff : A unit, which during the past four years, has constantly led us towards a common and definite goal. This goal can well be expressed as the development of our character-a spiritual, intel- lectual, moral, and physical growth. Each brother and lay professor has sacrificed his time unselfishly in our interests. His is much more than just a job between 8:15 in the morning and 3:00 in the afternoon. His work among the students begins the moment he enters the building and ceases only when the last stu- dents leave his class, satisfied that their problems are solved and their questions answered. During oneis stay at Cretin, several mental pictures of our faculty may be formed. To freshmen, a member of the faculty is a collosus with the yardstick in one hand and a drab pictureless three-hundred page textbook in the other. To the sophomore, he is an adversary to be outplayed and outwitted. It is a challenge to the sophomore to see if he can leave in the spring knowing less than he did when he came in the fall. To the junior, a member of the faculty is an open book on whose every page are two thousand quadratic equations, not to be solved but only to be wondered at. The senior, on the day of graduation, sees at last that each of his teachers has been a friend and adviser, whose endless hammering and yammering had behind it a pur- pose previously too deep to comprehend. Cretin's faculty has given us an education which far surpasses that given at any other school in the state. They have succeeded in imparting to us a portion of their boundless knowl- edge and wisdom. Indeed, to know a member of the faculty is an experience and to be taught by one is a blessing. 13
