Perhaps the most familiar site on campus is the main entrance at Nineteenth Street and Oiney Avenue. The plaques offered by the various graduating classes can be seen in the lower left and right-hand corners of this beautiful Gothic edifice, which is constructed of La Salle brick.

The central theme of Catholic life must be an ever-constant awareness of the existence of God and our allegiance to hiim. As Christian lives are dominated by the spiritual, so should this profession have an external manifestation. It is in the chapel that we worship, thank, and beseech the Supreme Being upon Whom we are eternally dependent and to Whom we owe so much. On the extreme southeast corner of the quadrangle is situated the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Kneeling before Our Lady is the humble Bernadette, awestruck with fascination at the beautiful sight which she has been privi- leged to behold. May we too be permitted to vision as did Bernadette. May we too possess the simplicity of this holy child of Mary. Located in the center of the quadrangle, and facing the Brothers ' House is the statue of the Sacred hleart, its ex- tended arms imparting peace to all who revere it. Before it, and resting above a plaque upon which is inscribed the names of La Salle men who have made the supreme sacri- fice, is a flickering candlelight, a constant reminder of the omnipresence of the Almighty.
