of all creation is his vocation. As the new semesters succeed the old he discovers a greater consciousness in his thinking. This season also terminates. The snow melts. Green blades of grass begin to spot the brown ground. The day of graduation nears and the student begins to bud into his intellectual spring. Behind him is a world of essentials from which he is now able to draw sources and reasons for his thinking and judgments. His former attempts lead to Commencement, the spring of his future and the beginning of his new strivings. He must now utilize his preparations, apply them to all things, smooth their ragged edges, perform the things prepared. So from the planting of this springtime he comes at length into the bloom and burgeoning of summer, into the further autumns of his harvest. And so begins again the eternal cycle, the abundant wheel, the circling of the seasons unto the circling ofthe stars. And in the center of this ring, in the midst of the enfoliate rose, may he come at length to the One about Whom all the circling of the seasons and the hours, all the orbiting of the planets, all the widening choirs of the angelic hosts, do equally revolve.

VERITATEM As the minutes, the hours, and the days cycled continuously during our college careers, many transformations gained way into our microcosms. We chose Fairfield to be the screen to strain from our lives the superfluous and replace it with the essential. The success of this development depended upon the careful tute- lage of our instructors. To one of these men, whose talent and devotion has assisted in carefully weaving our webs, by which we can capture our objectives, the Senior class of 1960 dedicates The Manor. A Jesuit, scholar, poet, author, professor, and penologist, John Louis Bonn, SJ. is one of Fairfield's hlterers. Through him, we have learned to synthesize philosophy with aesthetics, to ap- proach scholarship objectively, and to gain a consciousness of ourselves and our judgments. From his assistance, ample oppor- tunity arose to unveil our latent talents. We hope some day to be worthy of his efforts. Mcmx 1 i be 'I 'S 1 ,F '-1 Q5 Tv'
