But in the shadow of great secular schools, in the cloudiness of modernistic thought, our Dean, while attending to the frequent onerous details demanded of an administrator, has found time to assert uncom- promisingly our college's belief in first principles and in Christianity. He has exerted himself for the further recognition of our young university among older, established halls of ivy. While holding fast to the scholastic tradition of education, he has not hesitated to adopt new ideas, when worthy, to our Fairfield system. At the same time -- and this is our reason for accolade - he has always remained human and close to the students, making it his personal duty to evaluate personally the tal- ents of each one.
