DEDICATION To an outsider, La Salle College may be just another institution of higher learning. But that ' s to an outsider. For someone who is associated with La Salle — whether it be student, teacher or alumnus — there exists something a little more special. It ' s a feeling that sets this school apart . . . making it more than a place to earn a degree. It fills the atmosphere, the classrooms and buildings. Call it a unique secret, if you will. Rarely, in the life of a college, does its family have the opportunity to celebrate two anniversaries. The 1979-80 school year marks the fiftieth anniversary of La Salle at 20th and Olney — an event in itself. But this is also the 300th anniversary of the Christian Brothers order founded by St. John Baptiste de la Salle. In appreciation, we would like to dedicate this spe cial section and the 1980 Explorer to the Christian Brothers of La Salle. Unfortunately, every Brother cannot be acknowledged in the publication. Yes, it is a question of space — for no amount of space could do justice for the work, dedication and affection that the Christian Brothers give to La Salle. This dedication is only one small way of repaying that affection. We all know that what sets La Salle apart, makes it so special, is not a secret. It ' s the Christian Brothers. We thank you.

1 j La Salle at 20th and Olney Half a Century of College Life As the years after the war faded, people in the United States were caught in an ever-expanding prosperity. Jobs were plentiful, money and food abundant, most Americans were content . . . Every- thing looked positive as the inflated ball of prosperity bounced higher and higher. How could anyone, even those whose fiscal resources were thin, hesitate to take the great plunge into investment, especially for expansion and improvement? Such was the prevailing attitude as La Salle College took its plunge to- ward destiny by seeking a new and larger campus. Conceived in Crisis Thomas J. Donaghy
