Among his new activities. To one who will be remembered for a long time by the students of De Paul Eight years ago Father Bogetto was sent to De Paul University as Director of Student Activities. During these past eight years, Father Bogetto has devoted himself to the students of De Paul. His activities were many and varied. During his stay at De Paul he served as moder- ator of Alpha Phi Delta fraternity. At many events he acted as master of ceremonies and was quite famous for his ttnew iokes. As moderator of SAC he worked with the members in finding solutions to their student prob- lems. In August of last year Father received a new assign- ment, that of an assistant in St. Vincent's Parish. We thank him for his many years of service to us and wish him well in his new mission. In appreciation we take pride in dedicating our book to Father C. J. Bogetto. DEDICA TION Helping the students came natural.

Ollmagn ll, 3Jllinnia January 24, 1957 My Dear Miss Crean: Your request for a message to your students to be published in the 1957 De Paulian gives me the Opportunity to say to the students of our De Paul University how much I am pleased with the progress which your university has made in recent years and is making. It would be possible to indicate the new buildings acquired, the library improvements, and happy additions to the faculty. However from my vantage point the progress which I see in De Paul University is a greater under- standing on the part of the students of the purpose of university education. A great Cardinal years ago said that a university was, above everything else, an atmOSphere of learning and culture which eager students absorb. The university represents a heritage which comes down through the ages out of which there comes a love of learning, a stimulus for more learning and a mental avidity for truth. The success of a university is when its students really prize learning and right habits of intellect. The failure of a university is when these things are sub- ordinated to lesser aims and purposes. The real university student must not be content with absorbing what is given in the classroom--he must from out of his classroom exercises deveIOp a love of things of the intellect and a real veneration for exact truth and a habit of careful exact thinking. When in a university there is at the core of everything Divine Revelation as taught by Holy Church the mentally eager student and the student of concise careful truth-seeking has an exceptional Opportunity. Even in the profane studies there are principles and truths which are ascertained and are inviolate. Divine Revelation adds to these truths and gives the student a great freedom in thinking and in studying but he must think and he must study and he must never let his university be merely a help for a better life in a material way. He must know truth. He must be familiar with his heritage of learn- ing, and in the light of established truth and for the reason of Divine Revelation he must seek constantly to widen and clarify the reasons of knowledge. My notion of the growth of De Paul University is that De Paul University through these reasons has a student body which is eager for knowledge, careful and exact in its thinking, and determined to achieve leadership by develOping its persons to the fullest capacities. I congratulate De Paul University on its progress and beg God to give it even greater progress in the years to come. Sincerely yours in Christ . +pmu. 6.9.92 .
