W E DEDICATE this book to Father Augustus M. Fremgen, S.J., because he represents to us the Order with its four hundred years of life. Jesuit” means to a Jesuit college graduate the teacher he really knew and who knew him. Father Fremgen, who died on March the fifth of this year, was a representative teacher. In every college you find such: men of tough fibre but gentle understanding, men who have the gift of expanding intelligence, eager at any time of life to learn afresh, definite personalities, vitally interested in people, books and things. These are the men with whom we feel at home as students or when we encounter them years afterwards. They are ”the Jesuits.” Father Fremgen possessed all these qualities plus the remarkable personal characteristic that he was always good natured, uniformly in good humor. He was full of life and a perennially youthful spirit . Composer of the two Loyola songs, he wrote the first of them many years ago when he taught as a scholastic down on Calvert Street. It is the High School’s song now. At Evergreen, he wrote “The Green and Gray.” Father organized and trained our Glee Club, was faculty moderator of “The Greyhound” and was the substantial spirit of “Loyola Night.” We’ll have a grand reunion with him at a celestial piano or we’ll all know Greek there if he will pace a classroom in heaven for us.
