FOR ninety-nine years Marquette has been offering young men the training they need to attain success in this world and in the next. Being a school, she stresses the intellectual virtues, encouraging her students to seek not only facts but also truth, not merely knowl- edge but also understanding, not only learning but also wisdom. But she is not satisfied with even this tremendous ideal as a goal. For success in the two worlds demands a ma- turity which intellectual pursuits alone cannot achieve. She, therefore, inculcates with and through her teaching the necessary social, moral and religious principles and virtues which together can produce responsible men and citizens. To vitalize her teaching and to weld together into a union the young men from all the parishes in the county she serves, Marquette maintains in her teachers and infuses into her student body a spirit-a spirit which, without exception, comes alive in each individual member. The Marquette spirit does not readily submit to definition, but it cannot wholly escape analysis. It takes its character both from the teachers who are its guardians, and from the Gentlemen, the leffer D: Mr. Kramoris presents a lesson in French phon- etics to Waymire and Swain lat blackboardl.

students who are its inheritors. Thus, inescapably, it is at once thoroughly Catholic, profoundly Jesuit, and unashamedly Milwau- keean in its outlook-and forever young. It is a mysterious amal- gam, having aspects of the social and the civic -initiative, self- sacrifice, loyalty, enthusiasm, achievement-which are comple- mented by faith, hope, love, zeal, humility-its moral and religious qualities. All are measured and supported by the Cross to insure, for the future, well- balanced Catholic citizens, who shall al- ways live in the company of Jesus. This spirit is constantly being developed and variously manifest- ed in all phases of student life at school: in the classroom and in the laboratories, on the field and on the court, in front of judges and in front of audiences, but principally, and most inspiringly, before the Blessed Sacrament in the chapel each morning. And the sight of more than 900 young men, offering themselves-their efforts and their ambitions, their talents and their virtues-to their Lord for His greater glory, as- sures the onlooker that this spirit derives its power and its vigor from Him whom they serve in their studies. Such is the purpose, the char- acter, and the effect of the Mar- quette spirit. Every school wor- thy of the name aspires, it is true, to this kind of spirit. But we, the faculty and the students of Marquette, may justly proclaim, in humble pride and with fulfilled hope, This is the spirit of our school. j- 'a',jY -1,-3.41 . 1 , l 1 ,E-R., -.'- - ..
