The LOYOLA MAN develops as the subtle composite of many listinct influences which mold and shape his mental attitude and determination. Like the pressure fused diamond, he is created of applied stress on a mind enflamed with a passion for knowledge. First and foremost a student, the LOYOLA MAN searches for knowledge which leads to freedom from prejudice and inertia, the two great sins of ignorance. And because he is a citizen of two worlds, religion becomes the second great influence in his life. He begins to correlate God ' s Wisdom, Mercy and Justice with the harsh reality of a Communist influenced world. An appreciation of the truly fine and beautiful fits into these worlds. The LOYOLA MAN formulates a criteria of aesthetic values which he applies to all man calls good. On the athletic field, the LOYOLA MAN learns a sense of righteousness and fair play. There too, he conditions his body to serve him with discipline and courage. From the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps, the LOYOLA MAN learns patriotism, honor, and valor. He draws on a heritage which stems from the snows of Valley Forge to the airfields of Ankorra and Colorado Springs. To learn, the LOYOLA MAN works, sometimes scholastically to gain academic honor, sometimes physically to provide the money for the education he so enthusiastically seeks. And through work, he trains himself to assume the responsibility of Christian manhood. But the LOYOLA MAN also enjoys social life, a time to share his good times with others at a dance, or ball game, or fireside drinking session. And because he is social, the LOYOLA MAN belongs to organi- zations, taking part in the many clubs, fraternal groups, and study organizations which the University recognizes for a full, manly life. Rubbed, shaped and polished by these diverse influences, the LOYOLA MAN emerges, like the many faceted diamond, as a Christian scholar, valued for his qualities of leadership and contri- bution and desired as a close personal friend. :;
