Opus Justitiae Pax HIS HOLINESS THE POPE Bishop of Rome and Vicar of Jesus Christ, successor of St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Patriarch of the West, Primate of Italy. Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of Vatican City, PIUS XII Now Gloriously Reigning. In the seventy-fourth year from his birth, in the eleventh year of his reign, and the fifty-first year of his priesthood, in the year of Our Lord 1950, wherein the Church cele- brates the Holy Year, the men of Loyola dedicate this bo ok to His Holiness, Pope Pius XI L Successive elevations from priest to Archbishop to Cardinal and finally to Pope have added grave responsi- bilities upon Eugenio Pacelli. He became Head of the Catholic Church in dark days of nationalism: he guided Her through a world war. In vain he pleaded for peace. What does the future have in store for Christ ' s Vicar? God knows; time will tell. Picture by courtesy N.C. .C.

LOYOLA OF THE EAST Firm in her convictions, Loyola trains the complete man ... a Citizen of Two Worlds.

A foremost proponent of modern Catholic thought, Father Talbot ivas editor 0 America magazine before he assumed the duties of the President of Loyola College in December, 19U7. His genial enthusiasm soon pervaded all campus activity. Father Talbot expedited plans for the prompt construction of the chapel and steadily pushed them for- ward; ground was broken less than two years after his arrival. During the same period. Father completed his latest best-selling book in the North American martyr series. However, affairs of office seldom caused him to forego a weekly Student Council meeting or major basket- ball game — reason enough why his ready smile has be- become an important part of the Evergreen scene. T his is indeed Loyola: its education and its aims. Those of us who have known and loved Loyola are keenly aware of its influence on our lives. We have come to know God and His works, man and his. We see the universe in its true perspective, not with the aberrated vision of a materialist or idealist. Ours is the foundation-stone of a successful existence — truth. But Loyola’s system is not new; it is not the product of modern educational psychology, but the culmination of over four hundred years of experience and success. The Jesuit order began employing its educational system, the Ratio Studiorum, at its inception during the Counter-Reformation. This “Plan of Studies” is a striving for a broad cultural foundation rather than for
