THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This first Yearbook since 1943 joins its predecessors as an abiding record of religious, academic, social, and athletic events of an- other year in the torty-eight years of De Paul. The faculty and student personnel have changed over these decades; the activities, perhaps with some modern refinements, re- main constant. Certainly the spirit which inspired the Htounding Fathers't of De Paul lives today in the minds and hearts of all De Paulites of .7945 ., , this spirit of service to God, His Church, and our beloved Country. The tragic years just past remind this generation that the horrors ot our times would never have afflicted the world ii men every- where were tired by the spirit identified with the tradition of De Paul. For that spirit is founded upon the basic Christian concepts, unaltered and unaiterabie throughout the ages, of equity to all men, irrespective of ethnic origin, and ot a constant and non-discrimina- tory charity which recognizes in the individual, whatever his race or color, the Himage and likeness of God. Such a spirit accords to all an esteem and a love not measured by the accident of birth or social position. Founded on these unchanging principles ot Christ, the educational policy of De Paul rejects a1! philosophies e- ancient and modem a which reduce an individual or group of individuals to the level of mere economic en- tities subject to the whim or force or prejudice of any political or social system. Rather does it insist on the unity of mankind e one in origin, nature, and destiny e and tor this reason insists upon respect for man's innate rights. It is the sincere hope of the Administration that the graduates of 1946, and the students of this generation, may assist in the reconstruc- tion of the social order by living in harmony with these high ideals of De Paul.
