dowed with this peculiar power it would serve him well to ‘become’ as much as possible, ever evolving his intellect outward toward a maximum of consciousness — and a maximum of effectiveness. This goal is acces- sible to every man. The literature of a nation is accom- plished by some of its members desiring to stretch their arms over greater areas of truth and enlarge them- selves into all things by knowing as much as possible. But knowledge fails if it does not beget love. In fact, it seems that knowledge is imperfect if it does not include love. There is an area of consciousness impos- sible to reach if one has not experienced this deep personal concern, this extroversion of the ego to some- thing outside. And where is the man of today to find this experience? We answer: in the friends he sur- rounds himself with; in the woman he takes to him- self ; in the God he adores. Dostoyevski has one of his characters say in The Brothers Kararnozov : “Be no man’s judge; humble love is a terrible power which effects more than vio- lence. Only active love can bring out faith. Love men, and do not be afraid of their sins; love man in his sin; love all creatures . . . and pray God to make you cheer- ful. Be cheerful as children and as the birds.” ROBERT P. ARTHUR, S.J. Dean of Men HANDLING ADMINISTRATIVE work in the Registrar’s office are, left to right: John Higinbothoni, Alice Horn, Catherine McDonald, registrar, and Loretta Shelley. The Evergreen Annual believes that Loyola in its century of existence has done much to advance the ideas outlined here. Her graduates have given their lives in three wars, establishing the application of such ideals to the problems of our time. The graduates of 1953 enter a period of history when it will be, at any rate, extremely interesting to be alive. If this volume is read one hundred-one years from now, let it be said in our favor that we faced the development of events without disenchantment and with a genuine hope for the future. The story of our generation is yet to be written. We trust it will be one of progress and peace. We will labor until the end of life to render to our community, our country, and our God a proper return for the energy that has been expended upon us.

})lisliments of the past aiul a great liope for the future instruction of its youth. The maturitv of a young man often comes in the form of wliat we might call an emancipation. One day the prejudices of his lifetime, the beliefs of his fathers, and the very mores which bred him are placed under scrutiin and examined in the light of his experience. A part is retained; and a part is abandoned. A feeling of fri ' edom and elation accompanies this examination; it announces to him that henceforth he must judge and choose for himself the objects and ideas he wishes to make his own; that he must force circumstances to do his bidding as if he were alone in the world. When he manages to choose effectively that which is good and abapdon that which is not perfective to him, then he is operating successfully as a man. Then he has come of age. William James has said that some men imagine themselves to be thinking when they are merely rear- ranging their prejudices. It is to be hoped that our prejudices are so few that any arrangement at all will serve. There is a beautiful idea in Thomas Aquinas to the effect that we become what we know. Therefore by knowing the universe we somehow become the uni- verse. By knowing a man we somehow become the man, attaching something of him to our own per- sonality. It would seem then that since man is en- THE COLLPiGE’S finances were in the hands of, top, left to right: Josepli May, the Rev. Andrew Hofl ' man, S.J., treasurer, and Mary T. Windfelder.
