AIT ABLE LEADER Father Mi Cat IIIy lulky mill iluilrut Iraitrm ill uluitenti' im • No more significant lesson can Ik- gleaned from contemporary world events than the necessity ol zealous leaders in the cause of Christ. Leaders, who though linn in their conviction of material preparedness, do not lose sight of spiritual armament as a means ol ameliorating problems ol out present sorioqrolitical crisis. Such a leader is the Rev. Raphael C. McCarthy. S.J.. seventh president of Marquette I'niversity. whose intellectual and administrative acumen has won for him the res|»ect and admiration of the university and the communitv he serves. Under his guidance Marquette has continued to justify the ambitions ol its found ers. And as its graduate's scatter lifc-ward-l ound. they may be found the world over, practicing the philosophy inspired by this loyal son of Ian ola. Addressing the student IxhIv at the annual convocation. Father McCarthy stressed individ-ual and spiritual preparation as well as collective military defense, warning that Americans FATHER McCarthy must not repeat the mistakes ol Fuiope. “ The kind of leadership that is developed, the legisla lion that is adopted, the altitude of our people toward the events that lie ahead in the Struggle between dictatorship and democrats will leave their indelible stamp on future ways ol living. Finn wills and stout hearts arc at least as necessary to a country's safety as are armored tanks and high explosives. In the defense of a cause, moral and spiritual unpreparedness arc-worse than u n prepared ness in arms.” Psychologically speaking. Father McCarthy advocated that we turn our energies toward strength and away from comfort if we or out civilization is to survive. Indolence and lac k of discipline, so common today, are sapping out individual vigor and are threatening our dent ocratic lorm of government. Without becoming hysterical, said Father McCarthy. We must resolutely refuse tochcrish pleasing delusions. We must soberly renounce wishful thinking and prepare ourselves for the worst. There is no call for discouragement, and we dare not be lacking in faith, but we must face facts. We must abjure the futile and fatal complacency that betrayed France and Britain.” Father McCarthy came to Marquette in IlfSfi. succeeding the Rev William M. Magee. S.J., as President of the University.

 BOARD OF GOVERNORS Charles O'Hara Mol thru’ Carfirnter AIbrrl C. El set Harry V Johnston Dr. C. E Albright E . Semnihrennn Hubert A. Uihlein • To maintain a total of seven members on the University board of Governors. Robert Uihlein, prominent Milwaukee banket and industrialist, has been selected to fill the vacancy left by the death of Gen. Otto H. Falk, who served Marquette as chairman of its Board of Governors for I'I years. Gen. Falk, prominent manufacturer, soldier and public servant, died May 21. 1040, of a heart ailment. Ilis death deprives Marquette of a man who served his fellow citizens not only as a leader of industry, but also by rendering con tinuous and far reaching public service through his personal influence on those with whom he came in contact. As a soldier Gen. Falk gained his reputation bv serving in Cuba and Puerto Rico in the army of the United States in the Spanish Ameruan War. and by his active tints in the Wisconsin National Guard.
