In his book, Lend Me Your Hands, Father Meyer relates that towards the end of World War II a squad of American soldiers came into o little town which had been bitterly fought over. In the village square they found a statue of Christ lying battered and broken. Some Catholic men of the group put it together as best they could and set it back on the pedestal. But they could not find the hands. Finally, one of them made a crudely lettered sign: “I have no hands but yours.” Loras College has attempted to equip the class of 1960 to restore Christ to a world which has tried to shatter His image either by attack- ing or by just ignoring Him. For to “restore Christ is the job of you graduates. When Our Lord, about to leave this world, gave over to His Church the commission, “Preach the Gospel to every creature, He was saying to each one of us, to each member of this year's graduating THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE class, Now I must depend on your hands. He entrusted to us His very own work of bringing the message of God's love for man- kind. Because of the exceptional opportunities for spiritual and intellectual formation that have been afforded you graduates, you must be leaders in lending your hands, your hearts, your intellect to the cause of Christ. We of the Loras administration and faculty ask God's blessing on your efforts to be real Christian leaders in your various fields of endeavor. We ask also that in the years ahead you lend a hand to your alma mater—thot you help to improve Loras by lending her your loyalty, your prayers and your support. God bless you! D. V. FOLEY P.A.. LL.D. President of Loras College 19
