A Dedication T he class of 1953 , in recognition of his years in the Society of Jesus, and in gratitude for the many kindnesses he has done for Loyola men, dedicates this Evergreen Annual to the Rev. Aloysius R. Mack, S.J., of the faculty of Loyola. A large part of the graduating class studied Religion under Father Mack in Sophomore and Junior years. His presence in the campus shop almost always opens a discussion of major league baseball or the latest victory by an Evergreen team. His good humor and geniality have endeared him to all Loyola men. It is, therefore, with respect and affection that we dedicate this 1953 Evergreen Annual to Father Mack, with every best wish for his continued success in the instruction of youth. 4

The Loyola graduate does not leave the classroom with ready solutions for the world’s ills, nor does he approach life with the false confidence of the optimist. THE VEKY KEY. THOMAS J. MURRAY SJ. As President oj Loyola College, Father Murray has the responsibility oj directing policy for the school, travel- ing to other colleges and universities for educational conferences, and seeing to it that academic life at Loyola is well integrated within itself and also in its relation to the Baltimore community . During his three years at Loyola, his smile and good humor, together with his friendly nature have made him a popular figure among the student body. He has, however, been given reason to suspect that the perfection of human society is not, as an over-zealous Briton once told Henry Adams, “the London dinner and the English country house.” ' More important than axioms and formulae is an angle of vision on life which conditions our activity and gives purpose to all the minor and insignificant affairs we conduct daily with the people around us.
