A house of lights in the night can only mean a test is in the offing. Many a stu- dent throws his schedule to the wind in this time of proving his mettle. Keane Hall can be viewed from many angles. Here from the outside we see it as a strong, massive piece of architecture. Yet, we students know it from its more important aspect—as an educational stronghold. Sometimes the intellectual sneers at the athlete and the athlete at the intellectual. But there is really no dichotomy here. The Lorasman aims at avoiding extremes: the golden mean of sound mind and body is his earthly goal.

HENNESSY HALL. F т To never cease to learn should be the goal of any college man. To consider the masterworks of thought and then live a life of convictions is the result of learning. The Dominican pre-clerics abide in Smyth Hall. Hennessy Hall is where science reigns supreme; St. Joseph's Hall, the former Loras Academv, was trans- formed this vear into a complex of manv, many classrooms.

Progress is an evasive thing. It requires a reflective attitude to appreciate it; most of us are too hurried to do that. Yet by the time of graduation a student cannot help but be aware that the college life has affected him and he the college life. Would we be too egoistic to call this progress? The college life must be one of balance, too. Welcome are the breaks in the week when the student can exercise his body. Participation and spectator sports relieve the fatigue of long hours of study and reading. The whole man is the ideal— one physically and mentally at his best. 11 mu CH Pro Deo et Patria finds its physical mark throughout the campus. The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes is like a spiritual oasis in the midst of Keane Oaks. On the highest ground on the campus is the sym- bol of our nation's union, the Stars and Stripes, always manifesting one of the goals of education: to develop the good man for the good society. oi - vu H
