W 32 o . His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein, D. D. Chancellor of the University De Paul University is proud to have as its chancellor Cardinal Mundelein, a man accustomed to do big things in a big way, yet a schoolman-with iihumilitash emblazoned on his escutcheon. The university, faculty and students, deeply appreciate his work in its behalf, and feel that they can most effectively show their gratitude by emulating and supporting the many noble efforts of this prince of the Church. In all things they wish him GodSpeed, and in leav- uwamawzaez ing the portals of De Paul crave his blessing. Page twenty

Graduates of the Class of 1925 Youihave received the covEted crown-a degree from your Alma Mater. You now hear the oHicial stamp of your school; you are now the accredited sons- and daughters of De Paul University. You therefore enjoy an exalted honor and you carry a weighty responsibility. Take thought on this and adopt eEective means to measure up to your responsibility. Your degree means that you have completed, to the satisfaction of your pro- fessors; courses-cultural, legal, or commercial, according to the department in which you have been studying. In any case you have but laid the foundation of your educa- tion. You have merely started on the way to knowledge-you have only opened the great book of life. You are oHicially licensed not to give up study but to bring it to completion. Carry on in your chosen spheres and labor perserveringly for final success, the real objective of every college man or woman. Your degree, whether Bachelorls or Masterls or Doctorls degree, signifies simply that you are wonderfully equipped for lifels arduous struggle and that failure, should it come, will be largely your own fault. Up and on, De Paul Graduates of the Class of 1925. Graduates of the College of Commerce: Consider business not altogether in its commercial aspect but in its great possibilities for social and moral betterment. Pur- sue not the dollar for the dollar's sake but look to the nobler things that the dollar may be instrumental in achieving and spread around you this same saving influence. Hold aloft in the business world the De Paul banner of integrity and strive to instill the De Paul spirit of honesty. Above all, be upright men and women. Graduates of the College of Law: Look not entirely to the letter of the law but to its spirit as well and build up, primarily, an honorable practice even at the expense of a lucrative practice. Make the world better for your knowledge and ap- plication of the law and never forget that all laws should be interpretations of the great divine law which in the last analysis resolves itself into Almighty God. Yours is a peculiar privilege entailing a correspondingly grave responsibility. Realize this and be a credit to De Paul. ' Graduates of the College of Liberal Arts: You have drunk deep of the foun- tains of knowledge-you have sharpened your faculties and you have prepared your- selves for any line of activity you may choose. Whatever that line of activity may be, remember the principles inculcated all through your college courses and be worthy children of your Alma Mater. Especially you- who are making or will make teach- ing your life-W0rk-keep before you the De Paul ideals and keep them before the students in your classes. In a word, Graduates of the Class of 1925, honor your Father in heaven and reflect credit on your Alma Mater on earth. Be an example as well as an inspira- tion to the undergraduates, beckoning them on to the higher life and encouraging them to strive for the better things. Radiate the De Paul spirit so wonderfully illustrated by that great saint of Holy Church and illustrious man of the world- Vincent de Paul. May an honorable and successful course be your lot and may God bless you, one and all. ,9; gA 5h mmmmmwec-WWN :z-fi' Page nineteen
