sends message fa nur graduates. lc r From the desk of Dr. John Wu, a prominent Catholic layman, who stands as an ideal to us of one in whom East and West have met - Let Chapter 43 of Ecclesiasticus be my letter to your seniors. Look up to the rainbow and bless the Maker of it! The moderns still look up at the rainbow, but they try to analyze it and find nothing beneath it - as if they wish to show their own clever- ness by their ability to annihilate everything. But we old-timers are grateful to the Supreme Artist, for all the beauties He has produced by His marvelous creative art. For us the rainbow borrows its reality from Reality. We link up the phenomenal world directly to its Maker, and lo and behold! even the rainbow comes to possess substance. May we who are modems in one sense, be old-fashioned enough to look with you, Dr. Wu, upon all God's wonders, as the gifts of a loving Father. May we realize that all power of creatures - human, atomic or otherwise - is insignificant in contrast with the omnipotence of God. P97

Sminmf Lfafhalic lay Writer, educatar P96 John C. H. Wu is one of the outstanding converts to Catholicism in this century. His impressive record of achievements includes being author of the new Chinese constitution, advisor to the Chinese Delega- tion to the United Nations and Minister Plenipotentiary of China to the Holy See. The first to translate the New Testament into the Chinese language, Dr. Wu has taught in leading universities in the United States, Hawaii, France and Germany. In spite of his pretentious list of accomplishments, Dr. Wu is a simple man. He is at home anywhere - East or West. He is the link between the old and the new. Taking the doctrines of old - Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism - he has found them steps to Christianity. In doing so Dr. Wu has lost nothing of his former life but has used it to enrich his birth in Christ. Dr. Wu, now professor of iurisprudence at Seton Hall College, resides in Newark, New Jersey, with several of his thirteen children. His latest book is entitled Fountain of Justice. His autobiography, Beyond East and West, provides our theme for the Marque of '56. We are grateful to Sheed and Ward, publishers, for the use of quotations, the photograph and the inspiration for the art work on page 8.
