to the Gnaouates of 1956 Early this past year vast numbers of people were overwhelmed by a feeling of panic when news of the atomic fall out was released. Later in the year vast numbers of people were on the verge of despair when it became evident that the Geneva meeting at the summitv had not effec- tively relaxed international tension and restored confidence among the nations. Amid it all the students in our School of Business continued to struggle with problems in accounting and marketing and management, to discuss checks and balances, depreciation, amortization, market Huc- tuation, and to ponder, of course, philosophy and theology. An outsider might have been bewildered by their serenity, not realizing their interest in something not specifically listed in our catalogue - eternal veritiesf' In the past hundred years, the difference between Fordham and other educational institutions has widened. Gradually many of her sister universities have loosed or severed the bonds with their religious herif tage. To their students, Christmas and Easter mean merely a cessation of classes and lectures, not the Nativity, the Resurrection - Redemption! Fordham's spirit is still unequivocally religious. She shares in the anxieties and cooperates in the efforts of all around her. But she is possessed of a deep serenity, the basis of which is her faith-in human nature, in the development and workings of the human will and in the application of these faculties to the problems of man in society, a faith founded on the Word of God who created human nature and re- deemed it. This spirit has sustained Fordham for more than a century. This spirit she has striven always to infuse into her students. God grant that this spirit may be the motivating force in the life of each and every member of the Class of 1956 through many happy years ahead. a veny nevenen Q laulzencepjag smcomley s J i -I PQECTO11 AND PRESIDENT 16
