t n » LIJ 1 Tin, I ' rfJ 11 t T| n Gr'- » .t. ;- id ...Although the majority of the students are Catholic, Gannon serves students of all creeds in a manner consistent with the philosophy and general purposes of the college and yet not offensive to their religious sensibilities. Every effort is made through en- vironment and through required courses to foster spiritual, cultural, and moral training. These objectives of Gannon College stem from a philosophy rather than from a situation and hence have not been influenced by external agencies. The basic philosophy of education of the institution pre- cludes any alteration of its objectives. The manner in which these objectives are achieved, however, has been substantially influenced by such factors as community need, and environment. 14

4cU U»U4t tfitcaiit At the foundation of Gannon College is the administration. The students come and go, but the administration carries the traditions of the college and passes them on to Gannon's progeny. They are the ones who are the custodians of everything we associate with the Spirit of Gannon. Their efforts on our behalf are ample evidence that the administration is constantly striving to fulfill their duties. The counselling and guidance given freely are appreciated most by the students. But the unnoticed deeds of our administrators' dedication to their work are found only in books, behind desks, and in drawers; for it is in these places that records and reports are made and kept, and in which their necessary business of administration is carried on. For these efforts and for their interest and generous assistance in the direction of our lives, they shall be remembered. 16
