Loyola College - Review Yearbook (Montreal, Quebec Canada)

Page 7 text:

EDITORIAL The 1956-57 academic year will be well remembered by Loyola students for two main reasons. For one thing, football was temporarily suspended. How long this period of inactivity in gridiron competition will last, remains to be seen. However, it is our personal belief that before long, the Maroon and White colours of Loyola, will be flashing on the green turf. The vacuum that the loss of football created, was more than filled by the inauguration of the Winter Carnival. The spirit and the zest, which the students manifested in this undertaking, was most heartening. The success that it was, is due to the fine co-operation of the student body. Along with these two changes, has come another innovation — namely, a new format for the Review. Three major changes in this year’s edition may be noted. First, a new style of cover has been introduced. Secondly, the text has been minimized and in its place, more pictures have been used. Finally, coloured separators have been devised with the hope that they will add a little flavour to the book. The Review has attempted to give a clear and concise picture of activities at Loyola during the past year. We sincerely hope that we have succeeded. If we have succeeded to any extent, then it is due solely to you, the students of Loyola College. The editor takes full responsibility for any errors or omissions that might have been committed in the compiling of this text.

RELIGION Religion is an essential part of life at Loyola as it is in life in general. Students are required to fulfil their religious obligations regularly, and to make annually a spiritual retreat of three days. The Sodality of Our Lady is a spiritual organization of students for the fostering of piety. Religion is also an integral part of the curriculum. Being definite and certain like any other truth, it can be taught, and is taught at Loyola. PHILOSOPHY Without sound philosophy there is neither intellectual security nor intellectual maturity. Scholastic Philosphy, the wisdom of the ages, is sound, mature and intelligible. It does no violence to Faith, to Science, or to Common Sense. Every candidate for any degree at Loyola must complete successfully a series of courses in Scholastic Philosophy. C.O.T.C. -ULN.T.D. = sULR.T.P. CAMPUS and STAGE
