Loyola University of Los Angeles - Lair Yearbook (Los Angeles, CA)

ition By active participation in the lectures, de- bates and seminars of University life they involve themselves in the cultural heritage of Western society and develop insight into the motivating factors behind so many world trends. They learn to appreciate the force of a Master and the essential worth of something which can not be measured in wealth. At the dances, games and get-togethers which form the basis of college social life they learn their roles as hosts and Christian gentle- men. They realize, that in the adult world they have accepted, contacts with their fellow men and women require respect and sacrifice to maintain and stabilize a Christian society. And to achieve this knowledge, this ma- ture grace and sophistication they are willing to work. Work which will improve knowl- edge through an exercise of the brain, and work which will support and sustain the life of the body and soul. And finally, because this is foremost a Catholic University, the Loyola student learns to know, love and serve God. Not merely on the level of the Baltimore Catechism, but in a manly, honorable way. They make their world God-centered and by example they make others realize that this is how it should always be. For these reasons we recognize the worth of men educated in this manner, and dedicate this annual to the LOYOLA MAN.

Dedi( Loyola exists for the LOYOLA MA Without this somewhat abstract root of per fection measuring the greatness of its educa tional system, the University would be n( more than a piece of real estate located some where on the West Coast. But in the classroom, the professors and instructors can point to men whose ability to learn couples with a desire for knowledge to produce the scholar, the probing mind. For such students it is not enough to lecture at. Student and teacher participate in an adven- ture of the mind, arriving together at the profundities of our Judao-Christian civili- zation. J After class, in the meeting halls and discus- sion rooms of the Library, the Student Center, and the classroom buildings; these same stu- dents meet to discuss, to plan and to build the pattern of extra-curricular life which sup- plements and strengthens the process of intel- lectual and moral maturity. On the Drill Field and in the lecture hall, they meet as Military Men in a program which embraces not only this University, but the whole United States. Students become aware of the military necessity of the AFROTC if ' our citizens are to maintain peace. On the ball fields, in the pool or in the gym, men whose might will be measured in intel- lectual strength, prepare and preserve the physical basis for this mental alertness and at the same time learn a sense of fair play and competitive incentive, two qualities necessary . in the adult world after college.
