'hr Qlrvhn nf Zllztirfirlh liniumiitg The struggle to capture the mind of youth is today world-wideg 'isms' of every sort seek to ensnare youth by specious argumentation and false promises of social justice. America is no exceptiong our youth are continuously exposed to pernicious poisons which have the potency to destroy our hard-Won liberties. It is the universities which should supply the antidote of truth, and many of them are unwilling or unable to fulfill their responsibility. Fairfield University refuses to subscribe to the doctrine that 'academic freedom' may be used as a pretext to teach systems which destroy all freedom. It proudly boasts that as a Catholic institution it has taught and will always teach the principles on which rest all law, order, and right government. This is its creed: We believe in God. p We believe in the personal dignity of nian. We believe that man has natural rights which come from God not from the state. We are therefore opposed to all forms of dictatorship which are based on the philosophy that the total man belongs to the state. We believe in the sanctity of the home-the basic unit of civiliza- tion. We believe in the natural right of private property, but likewise that private property has its social obligations. We believe that Labor has not only rights but obligations. We believe that Capital has not only rights but obligations. We are vigorously opposed to all forms of racism -persecution or intolerance because of race. We believe that liberty is a sacred thing, but that law, which regulates liberty, is a sacred obligation. We believe in inculcating all the essential liberties of American Democracy, and take open and frank issue with all spurious brands of democracy, We believe, briefly, in the teachings of Christ, VVho held that niorality must regulate the personal, family, economic, politi- cal, and international life of nien if civilization is to endure.
