I OF Dr. William R. Garrett May I extend my warmest congratulations to each of you and to your families on this important achievement-your graduation from Loyola University. During the past four years you have completed an experience with implications for your indi- vidual lives far beyond anything you are likely to imagine today, for it was during this period that you prepared yourself for your life career and human service. In the future you and the nation will be faced with tests far more difficult than those hereto- fore encountered. The education you have received has provided a conceptual framework of the social, economic, and political implications of modern business in the American environment. This training will enable you to meet the challenge of a society torn by internal conflict and buffeted by external forces. This is undoubtedly a time when you feel mixed emotions: the joy and satisfaction of accomplish- ment, and the deep regret of leaving friends and familiar activities. As an undergraduate you may view the University as consisting of four elements: a ruling idea or purpose, a student body, a faculty, and a physical plant. If you stop at that point you would be omitting an element that, in my view, is of equal importance-a body of alumni. Severance of the ties that you have formed here would be a great loss both to you and to the University. The ability of Loyola to continue strong and to make its influence felt in the community, the state, and the nation depends on how well you carry on the heritage of accomplishment, service, and tradition of the University, and on your loyalty and devotion to your- Alma Mater. May I wish each of you success and happiness. COLLEGE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Rev. Terrance . ahan, . . COLLEGE UF ARTS AND SCIE Loyola's philosophy of education involves much more than a series of courses, examinations and grade points. It focuses primarily upon the training of the Complete Man, the Christian Gentleman. It is our hope and our prayer that the Loyola graduate will be a man who is decisive in confronting life, courageous in exercising initiative, yet loyal to legitimate authorityg that he will be personally dedicated to Christ and generously committed to creative leadership in the intellectual, social, cultural, religious life of the worldg that he will be open in love to men of every race and creedg that he will have a balance of intellectual humility and independence whereby he respects the tradition and accom- plishments of the past, but is ready to accept new ideas and developmentsg that, finally, he will have a developing familiarity in prayer with the Three Divine Persons. Please accept my congratulations. May Almighty God bring you happiness and success in the years ahead.
