Dedication ♦ ♦ ♦ The Class of 1948 takes pleasure in dedicating this record of its years at Evergreen to Miss Catherine McDonald, registrar of Loyola College. For over fifteen years she has been a reliable source of information and an nnderstanding friend to thousands of Loyolans. As secretary to the Dean, she has often been called upon to act as an advisor and sympathetic go between for students reporting for interviews. Her efforts in behalf of Loyola extend to Saturdays, holidays and the months of the summer. Miss McDonald has been a member of the Loyola staff longer than the great majority of professors and instructors, and it is fitting that we should look upon her as one of the symbols of our College. The first to greet most of us upon our matriculation at Loyola, iMiss McDonald will be forever associated in our memory with Loyola and Evergreen.

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.
