In this 125th year of Loyola ' s existence, we are turning the corner toward a future characterized by growth and modernization while seeking to celebrate Loyola ' s traditions. But, long after the fireworks of of the official 125th anniversary celebrations have melted into the night, we, the members of the Loyola community, celebrate the past by remembering it, by using its light to guide our steps into the darkness of the future. Memories, whether they are like small flames flickering in the wind or unextinguishable torches, weld us to the chain of the decades. Every year, the Evergreen Annual strives to rekindle the memories of one year. In this 125th year, however, we have tried to record some of the trials and errors, defeats and successes, and the spirit of all Loyola ' s years. The staff of the Evergreen Annual hopes that the fragments and glimpses of history in this yearbook will conjure up memories for those who turn its pages. We hope that in some small way we will keep the flame of the past glowing, and, with it, inspire the future for graduates who turn away from the corner of Evergreen as well as for all members of Loyola College.

Dedication to Father James Maier Father James Maier came to Loyola just five years ago, and it is with deep regret at his leaving that the class of seventy-seven dedicates this yearbook to him. Father Maier began his Jesuit life at Loyola, for he was ordained here in 1972. He was already a biologist of merit, with a Ph.D from Georgetown, and his Masters of Divinity from Woodstock College. Though he has been at Loyola just a few years, he has been an active and important member of the faculty. He is an assistant professor of biology, moderator of the college ' s Tri- Beta organization, member of the College Council, member of the Pre- med Predent Committee, an accomplished musician, member of the Concert Choir, and a resident of Butler Hall. Father is also active outside the campus as an advisor to the Maryland Academy of Sciences Scientific Council. There is no doubt, however, that the class that voted for him as recipient of this dedication had more in mind than his busy schedule. They may, in fact, have been unaware of it. For, the most common reason given for his nomination was his constant availability to the students, and his deep concern for them. Few teachers can boast of the popularity Father Maier has attained with all of his students. It is no surprise that he performs a great number of the campus weddings and special masses. His office door has always been open to every student and he genuinely shares in their difficulties and successes. Unaf raid of commitment. Father Maier has deeply touched a greater number of students ' lives than even he is perhaps aware of. His involvement is serious. It manifests itself in signs as small as his long familiarity with students who studied with him only briefly, and as large as carefully given advice to all who come to him with problems. It is rare, even on our campus, to find a man so earnestly trying to meet the needs of others. As a teacher. Father Maier demands discipline and productivity. He offers his student no less. Aware of the problems of grade-inflation and job training vs. integrated development facing teachers today. Father characteristically seeks a solution by giving more of himself. There is little he won ' t do or hasn ' t done to make biology accessible and useful to every one of his students. Father Maier ' s philosophy of education reflects his concern for the whole person. He sees education essentially as knot-tying . The teacher ' s job is to help his students see the fragments of their science come together. The end goal is to be a human person. Father feels that in our increasingly complex society cooperation between specialists is necessary. Therefore, one must learn the language of other disciplines to be truly helpful to those around him. It is the purpose of a liberal arts education to provide such qualified people. Father Maier ' s love of life is an important facet of his being that all who know him are profoundly aware of. As a teacher of biology. Father has developed his own philosophy of life. He sees human nature as an embodied nature and feels that knowledge of this, such as one attains through studying biology, has to help you appreciate social and psychological problems. Father has gone beyond mere appreciation of such problems, and has been a main source of both spiritual and intellectual comfort to students at Loyola. Importantly, he calls for leadership to arise from a liberal arts education. It is from him that the leaders among us can take inspiration. Though prayerfully made. Father Maier ' s decision to leave Loyola was not an easy one. We are sure that he will answer his new call with the same dedication and Christian commitment he gave to Loyola. In gratitude and love we dedicate these memories to the man who was such a happy and hopeful part of them. And, it is through his influence that we dedicate a part of the rest of our lives to his ideals. 5 Dedication
