Although al l'iOl'ill1Z1lll we do not come ill contact with formal philosophy instruction until junior year, we become aware, early in freshman year, of the pres- ence of a very delinite philosophical concept in each and every one of our academic subjects. YVC learn to interpret literature with relerence to traditional Chris- tian philosophy-we are shown how the Christian concept ol' man is at odds with or in accordance with the many forms ol' government. lVe begin to see the very lundamental connection between our philosophy and ethical business, politics and medicine. By junior year, after a course in logic, we are ready to approach all these ideas at their beginning. At Hrst confusing but soon parts of a well integrated whole are courses in ontology, epistemology, natural theology and cos- mology. The cafeteria soon echoes with the discus- sions of men whose contact with these abstract notions is for the 11lOSt part new. The psychology and ethics we study in senior year are perhaps the two phases in our philosophical studies we find most interesting, for in these subjects we apply in a visible way all the notions we have managed to retain from junior year. Greater are the discussions for at once we have abstract notions and practical applications of vital concern. lVe have been brought to the realization that there is an importance to every act we, as the rational creatures of God, perform.

EATING HALL, with its classrooms, cafeteria, oflices, Blue Chapel and radio station, is the center of student activity on the Fordham campus. It is cer- tainly appropriate that this building, which is the nerve center at Fordham, should house the ofiice of the Depart- ment of Communication Arts. While it is not the big- gest department, numerically speaking, it is definitely one of the most influential since this department is capable of reaching every student in the College. Under the auspices of Communication Arts, Fordham students study the fields of broadcasting, journalism, public rela- tions and advertising. While attention is primarily devoted to the technical aspects of each area, the moral responsibility of the individual in his profession are not ignored. All training schools can teach the techniques of mass communications, but Fordham-like all truly Christian institutions-must cultivate in her sons a love of the Truth and an un- swerving dedication to the principle that all men must be allowed to seek out the Truth. In this search for knowledge then, true men of Fordham in the commu- nications profession will not only transmit ideas but also evaluate them. 25
