ffypnl-lqQJfN 1 u 1 fxtz frt February 20, 1955 My dear Mr. Caraher: Your letter which tells me that you have chosen for the theme of your 1955 DE PAULIAN the Encyclical Letter of Pope Pius Xl, of happy memory, on Christian Education, pleases me very much. This Great Letter is a Charter for Catholic Educators and an authoritative exposition of the Teaching of the Church on Education. It vindicates the right of the Church to conduct schools on all levels as included in the Divine Commission to the Church to witness and teach the Truths of Divine Revelation Clearly it defines the rights of the State in education and the rights of parents. It shows the fallacy of mere secularism in education in its emphasis on the fact that truth is one and you cannot divorce the truths of reason from the truths of Divine Revelation. It exalts genuine scholarship in which the study of the atom comprehends the vision of the Creator of the atom. In your study of this letter you will find how true education weds Science and Wisdom. De Paul is an admirable institution. It has faced many difficulties and exacted great sacrifices. All this has come because it knows that it is doing its part in obeying the Divine Command: HBe ye witnesses of men. With blessing, .1 Archbishop of Chicago. Mr. Jerry Caraher.

DET PHCIL CIIZIVEJRSICY CHICAGO OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT 2235 SHEF EL VE UE Graduates and Students: The end of one's college career, or the termination of another academic year, brings memories which are lasting and fruitful throughout life. Friendships have been fashioned through the diversity of social, athletic, and cultural events-- peripheral, perhaps, but essential to the total educational process. Intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth has re- sulted from the experience of the classrooms and laboratories. As members of the great family of DePaul you have lived this year, or these years, in a microcosm dominated by the charity of our common patron, Saint Vincent de Paul, which expresses itself in the esteem and brotherly love accorded to all as it reflects the all-prevailing and Divine charity of Christ. With this charity as source of our motivation, admin istration, faculty and students pursue Hthe way of wisdomu which Eternal Wisdom Hshows usu. This is the significance of the legend inscribed on the seal of the University and appear- ing on the cover of this Annual - Viam sapientiae monstrabo tibi. My sincerest wish for all of you is that this wisdom may guide you always in your relations with your neighbor and with God. For with it you will Uunderstand justice and judg- ment, and equity, and every good path.H Cordially, I
