Scholarships being awarded by Father O'Malley. The problems facing society today de- mand clear thinking, correct perspective, and courageous action. The solution to these prob- lems must be founded, not on the principles of expediency or opportunism, but rather on the historic truths which serve as the foundation of our Western civilization - the all-pervading place God has in the economy of human affairs, the inviolable dignity of every human being because of his relationship to God, the rights of all peoples, irrespective of social or economic position, because of their membership in the God-created human family. To the teaching of these truths the Univer- sity is irrevocably committed May the lives of its students and graduates be Witness to their effectiveness in restoring to society prin- ciples of order and justice and love.
