Dedication r In 1939 an experienced ethician joined the faculty of Loyola College. During the past tsv ' enty-seven years, he has taught over 2500 alumni at Loyola — fifty percent of all the men who have graduated from the College since its founding in 1852. On October 10, 1965, the Reverend Thomas J. Higgins celebrated his golden jubilee marking fifty years as a member of the Society of Jesus. Father Higgins’ presence on campus provides a nostalgic reminder for returning alumni, who can still find one familiar face among the changing faculty and amidst a physically changed campus. During his tenure, Father Higgins has dedicated himself to the education of Loyola students. His name is synonymous with that of education at Loyola. An accomplished author, a well as Chairman of the Philosophy Department, Father Higgins published his first book, Ma72 as Man, in 1949. His other works are Perfection Is for You (1953), Helps and Hmdrances to Perfection ( 1955), and Dogma for the Laymen (1961). Man as Man has been used extensively as a text for courses in Ethics. Father has given lectures on a great variety of philosophical topics and presented papers at meetings of groups such as the Jesuit Philosophical Association, the American Philosophical Association, and the International Congress of Philosophy at Brus- sels. Despite these time-consuming tasks and achievements, the seniors are afforded the gifts of Father’s humor and incisiveness in their Ethics course. In recognition of Father Higgins’ contributions to Loyola College as educator, author, and teacher, he was awarded the Presi- dent’s Medal in June, 1964 by the Reverend Vincent F. Beatty, S.J., who was then President of the College. In a like manner of admiration and pride, the graduating class of 1966 dedicates this yearbook as a tribute to this great man of Loyola. WITH .FOUR FORMER STUDENTS, Fr. Higigns, S.J. concelebrates his jubilee Mass. THOMAS J. D’ALESANDRO III, President of the Baltimore City Council, greets his former philoso- phy teacher, Fr. Higgins, S.J.

Faculty Following a Flat Outline . . . The faculty is a very important influence upon the for- mation of the students’ portrait. This group of men and women furnishes the student with the guidelines needed to properly shape his personality. The faculty’s knowl- edge and interest form a basic two-dimensional outline — a mere sketch, it is true, but one which the student who is creative and dedicated can use to great advantage in the development of his character.
