PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE Mij Dear Lorasmen, A college education, we must understand, is not a goal in itself, hut rather an instrument toward a higher goal. What toe are and what we do here at Loras reflect not only on ourselves individually, but on the community as a whole. The best way of measuring the worth of a col¬ lege is not by examining the college itself, but rather by observing her finished product—her alumni. We will not measure the alumni by their monetary success or failure, nor by their social position. Neither will we count the awards or honors they may win. We shall only ask how they have borne the Loras challenge. To every Lorasman is given this challenge, the chal¬ lenge that he should live his life in todaijs ever-changing world, “Pro Deo et Patria.” We see this motto countless times during our years at Loras, and we should come to accept it as our own personal challenge. When the Loras alumni respond to that challenge, then Loras has triumph¬ ed, but when a Loras man fails that challenge, then we, the Loras community, have failed. For this years graduating class, for the alumni, and for all who shall graduate from Loras College in the future, I fervently pray that each and every one may respond successfully to this challenge. In Christo, Msgr. Justin A. Driscoll
