the Most Holy Name of Jesus. Here are conducted the spiritual exercises of the university. Here the school year opens and closes with invocations and blessings amid scenes of baccalaureate splendor and academic processions with faculty and upperclassmen in caps and gowns. Here doctors and masters and bachelors in the arts and sciences match the shades of their hoods with colors of the rainbow and kneel in the soft rays of sunlight creeping piously through stained-glass windows. Here professor and student dally visit the Great Councilor and levites and prelates ascend the steps to the altar to offer the Clean Oblation of nearly two thousand years as voices from the choir loft chant the ancient liturgy of the Church. Tradition . . . flows through the life of the University as blood through human veins.

ince, according to tradition, summoned the Reverend Albert Blever, S. J., Loyola ' s first president, gave him a dime for carfare and told him to go uptown and found a university. Today, the miracle of Father Biever ' s dime Is Loyola University of the South which ranks among the prominent universities of the Amer- icas and the leading educational establishments In the Southern part of the United States. It Is one of the two hundred Jesuit colleges and universities In the world, twenty-four of which are In this country. Loyola consists of three colleges and two schools, all conducted under the famous Jesuit principles and practices — formulated over decades of experience — the Ratio Studlorum. Here Is inculcated a philosophy of life and an intellectual Catholicism, founded on rea- son and confirmed in revelation. Here Is taught the fundamentals of American Democracy and the responsibilities and privileges of American citizenship. Western Hemisphere solidarity is stressed and the vital Importance of closer relations with the republics to the South of the United States has long been one of the university ' s major topics. Though they come from many states and several foreign countries, Loyola students do not live in dormitories. They are the neighbors of the university, living In private homes and fraternity houses. For- merly, Loyola ' s athletes lived In several residence halls on the campus known as ranch houses. Today, only two ranch houses remain, the others having been converted into classrooms and for other purposes needed because of the university ' s continual expansion. Campus life at the university Is not dormant. Sixty-six campus organizations, twenty of which are fraternities and societies, are ample channels for extra-curricular activities, and social and Intel- lectual entertainments are copious. Tradition at Loyola flows through the life of the university as the blood through human veins, but the spirit that permeates Its atmos- phere Is the same spirit that four hundred years ago moved the heart of a wounded soldier who arose from his bed of pain to proclaim to the world the teachings which he later embodied In the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuit Order. Standing today in the horseshoe that fronts the campus of Loyola University, which faces St. Charles Avenue, is a symbol of this spirit. There In the solidity of stone and the warmth of love is a statue of Christ the Redeemer. With outstretched arms, the Teacher of Teach- ers bids the student enter and to learn of Me for I am meek and humble of heart. This Is Catholic education: That in all things God may be known, loved, adored, and glorified. In this lies the sancti- ficatlon of one ' s soul and eternal redemption. Looking from the avenue, on the left of the horseshoe, stands in Teutor Gothic majesty the McDermott Memorial or the Church of
