OCA9 There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their ac- quiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man ' s life to know them, the little new that each man gets from life is very costly and the only heritage he has to leave. ' Death in the Afternoon Ernest Hemingway GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY 1912 - 1962 am Loyola University is now half a century old, yet her roots go further back into time than 1912, the year she received her charter. Like any great institution, Loyola ' s chronological history is only the skeletal remains of events and people, once brimming with vitality, freshness and life. As we present the numerous dates and names connected with our university ' s history, we do so to recapture for those who are a part of the past, the spirit and warmth of memories still alive within them. We also present it so that the students and children of today ' s Loyola may see her history as an animated pag- eant, not as an obscure thing buried in the vellowed pages of years long gone. Those skeletal remains will be resurrected to live again if envisioned as the embryonic beginnings of a great Catholic university, pulsating with the life blood of leadership, foresight and inspiration. The Jesuits were among the earliest settlers of Louisiana and the New Orleans area. As early as 1725 there w r as a question of opening a Jesuit college in New Orleans. The Rev. de Beau- bois, S.J., who was in charge of the local Jesuit missions, at first hesitated because of the small number of settlers in New Orleans and because, at the time, the work of the Jesuits in the locality was limited to the Indians. 17
