Father President To the Class of I960 As I write these lines, our nation is concerned about the mass deceit and perjury disclosed in investigations of the television industry. In the midst of the protracted steel strike and the TV scandals the President of the United States observed that selfishness and greed . . . occa- sionally get the ascendancy over those things that w e like to think of as the enobling virtues of man — his capacity for self-sacrifice, his readiness to help others. A prominent political can- didate complains that we have gone soft — physically, mentally, spiritually soft, and believes we are in danger of losing our will to fight, to sacrifice, to endure. The slow corrosion of luxury is already beginning to show. There are many observers of the national scene who would agree with these remarks and who think that we are suffering from a very real national illness. If they are right — and I hap- pen to think they are — then we in the field of education need to do some serious examining of ourselves and our work. We need to raise again some basic questions about the goals of higher education. At Loyola University we have aimed at both mental development and spiritual formation in the belief that the whole man is to be educated. How far we have succeeded is best answered by each graduate for himself. We hope under God that in your case and that of every alumnus intellectual toughness and spiritual fibre have been the results of our educational program. C- ' h.a tJua f - !

The Administration and Faculty of Loyola, like highly skilled diamond technicians, shape and perfect the student. Through service, instruction and planning the provide, the backbone of the Loyola Education. 41, 1 1.151 .m The Administrative departtnents work at the primary level, con- tributing to the smooth and efficient direction of University life. Like washers and sorters in the laboratories of Antwerp or Amsterdam, they select the men best suited for a Loyola education, attract the best teachers and fill the classrooms with the most modern instructional aids. Through administration of funds, organization of curriculum and correlation of behind-the-scenes activities, they contribute to the development of the LOYOLA MAN. The Faculties of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, and Engineering channel students along three distinct lines and shape an individual true to his own ideals. Like valued cutters and polishers, they cleave ignorance and un-perception from the student, exposing the true man. Backed by 400 years of Jesuit experience, and progress- ing with the most modern ideas in education, they move towards an ultimate gQal, the LOYOLA MAN.
