Loyal Lorasmen i The contributions of the college alum¬ ni to the Loras tradition are directed and encouraged by the union of the alumni in the Loras College Alumni Association. Only after a man has grad¬ uated from a college is evidence given cf liis spirit to help others follow in his footsteps and receive a training in prin¬ ciple equal to his own. One of the most noteworthy activities of an alum¬ ni group is to secure promising students for their college. A concerted plan of action with a general goal is most likely to secure this result. Loras can be boosted by her students but the alumni can exert a greater influence on those who would have a Catholic education. The alumni in their annual reunion at Homecoming, the alumni night, and communion break¬ fast are uniting for such action. The honoring of anniversary classes brings the old grads together for per¬ haps the first time since their graduation and allows them to see the spirit and life that is now the Loras they knew years ago. The alumni association must then be recognized and complimented for its excellent job in securing the cooperation ( 1 the alumni in making Loras a bigger and better Loras, 1.

A college education is many things to many people —a chance to improve intellectual powers, a chance to improve one ' s earning power and social position, or to some, a chance to develop highly specific knowledge in scien¬ tific or liberal fields. This college education may be many tilings to many people but a Catholic college training should be one thing to all who are fortunate enough to possess it. This Catholic training should be the universal medium of expression through which men can gather and understand, unite and forcefully direct actions which are caleuluted to bring some 1 measure of relief to fellow men in positions less fortunate than their own. i
