President ' s Message m EN OF ' 31 you enter upon your career under most trying circumstances. There is the tremendous economic depression, there is further the intellectual debacle, and %vorst of all the collapse of moral standards. Each of these factors will make it additionally difficult for you, possessed of Catholic ideals and Catholic standards, to make your way through life with honor and probity. We Catholics are in the minority. Our position in mat- ters of faith and morals is diametrically opposite to that of the world at large. In this we share the position of Him who bade us have confidence because He had overcome the world. Go forth, men of ' 31 , depending upon the help which He who mastered the world will give you! Hold fast to His principles, abide by His laws, obey His Church. You will find your life happy if you do this; if you do not, there can- not be peace nor happiness in our hearts. It must be Sursum Corda. Set forth with your hearts set on the high things of Christ, be high principled, high minded. You have received the true ideals of Christian manhood. It is your duty and your privilege to exemplify them. Loyola will ivatch you and future generations will bless you. ZACHEUS J. MAHER, S.J. :.,
