I'rmutrnt of tMr t'nifr rrtlg TO THE SENIORS: Ideals in life signify, not rosy dreams conjured up for the delectation of an idle hour, hut rather a man's definite and concise aims ami purposes in life—his standards and levels of achievement. Ideals determine not only the direction of achievement, hut also the extent of achievement; not only what a man does, hut how well he does what he undertakes to do. As Socrates well said. Not only is he idle who docs nothing, hut he is also idle who might he better employed. Of course there are limits. Trees do not grow to the sky. At the same time a caged eagle feels a perpetual humiliation. This span of life was lent For lofty duties, not for selfishness; Not to he whiled away in aimless dreams. But to improve ourselves and serve mankind. ALBERT C. FOX. S. J. Page 26

 Q 1 -'iHIHILlLTrOlP tn- ' EDWARD A. FITZPATRICK Dran © thr Gradual Sehool Graduate School The transformation of Marquette college into Marquette University is effected by the formal organization of the Graduate school and a Graduate Faculty. The Graduate school carries to full fruition the processes of initiation and orientation so well begun in the undergraduate colleges. The scholars on the Graduate faculty from Budapest, Vienna, Munich, from Harvard. Columbia, and John Hopkins, front our own as well as front other universities, is a guarantee that sound ideals of scholarship dominated by motives of public welfare will control the Graduate school. A careful study of the problems of university organization now being made by the Graduate faculty itself will make certain the progressive improvement of the work and a wider and deeper influence of the Graduate faculty in the Uni versity and in the city. The Graduate school must be dominated by the spirit of research—and push ever forward in the indefatigable and consecrated spirit of Father Marquette himself, to new achievements of knowledge and the application of knowledge to man's need. The period of graduate study is for the student the period of his gradual emancipation from reliance on books and teachers through discipleship under great scholars to independent work. The more rapid this emancipation is. the more effective the work of the school provided it means real scholarly achievement, not glibness, not mere compilation, not s| ectacular theories, but research and original contributions to the world’s knowledge.
