hoyolta College Montreal Canada OFFICE OF THE RECTOR April 2, 1964. My dear Graduates of 1964: As | begin this letter to you, | recall that what is expected of me, and what | am happy to do, is to convey to you from Loyola our pride and good wishes on this glad occasion. Of course, compliments must stay within bounds, especially if we are to honour our shared con- viction that there is still much learning beyond the first degree. Nevertheless, the grounds for praise are real because college graduation is still quite a distinctive achievement. | wish more Canadians could reach the same heights. The year of your graduation has been particularly vital, in my opinion, for the college it- self. Here | am not referring to plans, statistics, buildings. | have in mind rather some new insights, some new keenness, some fresh indications that we knew what we were about. We judged things, including ourselves, by more disciplined, more exacting standards. And we hesitated oftener about letting revenue, status, public relations, or just hoop-la become the touchstone of our progress as student or as a college. Perhaps this seems to be a singularly modest claim on an occasion accustomed to flow- ery phrases. Perhaps it is indication that even as we graduate we are still creeping towards wisdom. However, this new and sterner self-evaluation constantly going on puts us in sharp confrontation with a basic question. That question, which education as Loyola has, | hope, caused you to consider in a real and personal sense, is the balance that a Christian ought to strike between his Christian vocation and his duties in the world. Not an easy thing. Some Christians, for example, see their vocation as exclusively eternal and therefore neglect human problems, the development of society, and the need for co-operating in its progress. Others, particularly in more recent days, feverishly try the opposite emphasis and, unwittingly, tend to reduce the divine element in Christianity to benevolent humanism. This is not the place to attempt any long discussion and, in any case, you surely see the importance of the question. | merely remind you, as Father Daniélou does, that the Christian statement of things is biblical. And the Bible, from its opening chapters, teaches that man was created in the image of God, which is to say that, first, he master the world which is in- ferior to him: that, secondly, he is to be in communion with his fellow-creatures who are his equals: but that, finally, he must acknowledge the transcendence of what surpasses him. | should like to think that your years at Loyola have prepared you somewhat to live up to the challenge implicit in the biblical notion of man. | should like to think too that with cour- age and God's grace your living of the challenge will in turn challenge others. May God bless you. ‘ef: Od Dae x
