is in the center of Chicago is the center of Greatness '- Q., is all of Chicago The 1959 Loyolrzzz has two ends to fulhll, two stories to tell. First is the Chicago story, the biography of a city. Second is the Loyola story, the account of what has come to be an important part of that city. Birthplace of the atomic age, world renowned as a commerce and industry center, Chicago has become the core of encompassing human activity. World leader in air, rail, highway, and passenger transportation, Chicago's ideals, energy, and growth have truly earned it the name of great. Loyola's greatness is based upon an educational code supported by more than 300 years of Jesuit teaching experience. Its 11 colleges and schools are situated within the heart of the city, its graduates have con- sistently distinguished themselves in the city's businesses and professions. Loyola's facilities both contribute to and are strengthened by Chicago. Together, Loyola and Chicago represent a pattern of progress, a joint realization of a calling to significance.
