VVii-i.iAM M. Davish, S.J. Associate Professor Chairman of Department ClIARLKS J. GaI.I.OWAY, SJ. Inst rurtor Danikc. F. Lawi.ik, S.J, Assistan t Professor THEOLOGY ITieology is a paradox; it scetns to l)c at oiicc die richest and the poorest ol all sciences. Its wealtli lies in the importance ol die truths with which it deals; the nature of God and Mis relation to man. Yet, one might argue that theology is the most impoverished science, lor its source of development is dry: a fixed deposit of faith. ' ITie objective hotly of truth, it must he admitted, is fixed and determined, Init man’s knowledge of it must ever grow in depth and extension. The theology profes- sors of Loyola College are dedicated to this personal development in themselves and, with ecjiial enthusiasm, in their students. WiLi.iAM D. Lynn, ,S.J. Instructor 23

Educating ' the whole man is a painstaking and pro- longed process. The effort to imjrart the lustre of wis- dom may effect no more than a gloss of virtue, and while centuries’ toil has polished selected facets of the human personality ad iinguem, there too easily remain hidden aspects -which have completely missed school- ing’s abrasive touch. The agile tongue, well-honed wit, and soaring spirit cultivated by traditional disciplines may be pernicious as tvell as precious possessions for a man who lacks social context and cultural perspective. Not such sons does Loyola care to nurture. Hans Mair Instructor in Political Science LIBERAL Nicholas Varga Assistant Professor of Political Science and History
