McKeldin, Governor of Maryland, many priests and Monsignori of the Archdiocese, and former faculty members and benefactors of the College. The sermon, which recounted the important steps in Loy- ola’s growth during its first hundred years, was de- livered by the Rev. Francis X. Talbot, S.J., noted author and former President of Loyola College. Thus, our Chapel officially was dedicated to Our Lady, Mediatrix of All Graces, and consecrated to the memory of former students who served and died in the Second World W ' ar. Yet, a sort of personal, spir- itual dedication has been growing in us during the years we have watched this “enchanted Cathedral” rise so impressively. It is a dedication to the Catholic principle, an appreciation of man’s dignity and above all a conscious dedication of our lives to the greater glory of God. Whether on frosty Lenten mornings when Loyola men shivered into their pews for early Mass, or in the evening when they congregated in Cohn Auditorium for a play or dance, the Chapel building has become and will continue to be the focal point of life on the Loyola campus, and the symbol of all that is Loyola.

Freshmen W ITH A CLASS enrollment of over one-hundred and seventy men, the freshmen easily won the tradi- tional “rugby” game, defeating the sophomores 6 to 2. The victory was celebrated at the Freshman Welcoming Dance which was held the following night in the gym-, nasium. Bob lula’s orchestra provided the music. The dance, sponsored by the sophomore class, was opened to the entire student body. On February 14, the Frosh- Soph Hop was held in Cohn Hall, cheerily decorated for the occasion. It featured the Men of Note. The highlight of the year was the formal Military Ball held at Turner’s Armory. The Second Army Dance Band helped to make it a successful affair.
