LoYoLANs ON THE Move PANTA REI- Everything is on the move! Thus even in ancient times did the Greek sages manifest the fas- -cination of universal motion and change. What student does not remember his first encounter with Zeno's intrigu- ing paradoxes: his efforts to understand how the fleet- footed Achillesv could outrace the sluggish tortoise, how the speeding arrow could reach its target? Or the charming story of Diogenes, urefutationv of Zeno by parading up and down before his friends: soloitur ambulandof' Or his relief at discovering Zeno,s puzzles solved at last by the master of them that know with his doctrine of act and potency? Solved-and yet . . . e Even old Heraclitus, looking down from whatever pa- gan heaven he inhabits, might be amazed at the fascination of motion and change as the fifties of the twentieth century merge into 1960. Russian Sputniks', and Luniks -Ameri- can Explorers, and Project Astronaut -the Iet Agen coming into flower at Chicago,s O,Hare Field-breakfast at the Palmer House, luncheon at San Francisco's Mark Hopkins, and back to Chicago in time for an evening snack at Loyola's own Pump Room-journeys to the moon or Mars around the next corner but one! Chicago has long been the nation's railway center and highway hub, its Mid- way Airport is the busiest in the world, and 1959 saw the St. Lawrence Seaway open to bring to the heart of the city Britain,s reigning monarch and a mighty task force of the U. S. Navy. In this year, as always, Loyola reflects and shares the spirit of Chicago. And so we have chosen for the theme of the book which is to be the record of this year, Loyolans on the Move. Not that we shall take it too seriously-a theme for a yearbook is not an absolute necessity, but it can serve as a pleasant link to unify our appreciation of the manifold activities of Loyola's students. For even as the beauty of sunrise and sunset lies less in any static quality than in the constant change and variation of light and color, so too Loyola men and women are mosttfascinating when they are seen on the move. And how varied and delightful their movements are! Theirs is the physical motion of sport and drill and dance-the comings and goings, to and from class and lecture, play and concert, game and carnival, theirs the intellectual motion of learning and scholarship and an increasing mastery of all the resources of skill and knowledge, theirs the moral and spiritual motion of growth man ersons and the soul's winging on its continuing as hu -p , flight toward Cod, theirs even that perhaps most character- istically human motion of all, the motion of laughter at the humor and nonsense that are a part of every life. In all this we shall try to follow them, try to capture, as best we, can, the bewildering and ever-chang- ing variety of a Loyola which, like its city and the world, is on the move
