Graduates to the President In your inaugural address you reminded us that the function of a Catholic college is to cultivate in the students those qualities which will make them better men, better citizens, and better husbands and fathers of families. Your endeavor was to make us aware that we do not stand alone, to inspire us to reach for the noblest ideals, and to help us see something of God’s beauty and splendor. Here, the Class of 1948 expresses its thanks to you and to the Society of Jesus which you represent, for seeing that no phase in the education of the whole man was neglected during our years at Loyola. May you, as President of Loyola, see in the future years the fulfillment in us of the goals outlined in your first address at Loyola, and may you carry with you the best wishes and gratitude of your first graduating class. The Class of 1948 President to the Graduates This year, the pathways of our lives have come together. This, my first year as President of Loyola College, is your final year as students of Loyola. Me met as strangers last summer. This summer we part as friends. You men of 1948 have been Loyola College, not in its entirety, it is true, but in its essence. By my own observation and by the reports I have received, I can testify that you have proved yourself worthy of the fine traditions of Loyola and that you have preserved for the younger classmen the traditional spirit of Loyola. And so, I say that Loyola College is proud of the Class of 1948. Extraordinary uncertainty shrouds our futures this year. No man can name the events that may be. But each of you can be master of your own soul no matter what may be the events. As Loyola alumni, practice what you have learned as Loyola students: to seek the betterment of your fellow man, to be more honorable and more moral than your fellow man, to be more faithful than your fellow man to God.

Loyola College OFFICE OF THE DEAN 4501 North Charles Street CHESAPEAKE 1020 Baltimore-IO. Maryland Men of Loyola of the Class of 1948 — It ' s hard to write even a few words which would sum up my thoughts and feelings on an occasion like this when I bid you good-bye. But now as your days at Evergreen are over, you look back and you find that you take with you, first of all memories: memories of warm friendships made in the classro oms and around the campus — friendships with fellow students and teachers — friendships, many of which will last forever. Then too you find you have grown in knowledge and in maturity and in wisdom: you have absorbed, sometimes a bit painfully it is true, principles of reasoning — you have established for yourselves ideals of faith — ideals for living the full and joyous life. Finally you face the future with hope — a firm hope based upon your heritage as Sons of Loyola. Always be guided by these prin- ciples in all you do! Always remember you are Men of Loyola!
