In our times men and nations are confused; they are fearful of the future. As graduates of Marquette University you should neither be confused nor afraid. The philosophical principles which you have here made your own, will enable you to think clearly. The great truths of Christianity empower you to surmount undue fears. Bring God and the principles of Christianity to bear upon American society in the home and in the marketplace and you will contribute a great good to our civilization. This is your opportunity, your privilege and your obligation. We wish you God-speed in the task before you.

 The school year 1946-1947 has been a hectic one for Marquette’s president, Father Peter A. Brooks, S.J., as well as the Board of Governors and executive officers. This year saw the enrollment of over 7,000 students, a quota far above any previous enrollment at the University. This year saw the re-establishment of the Naval ROTC on a peacetime basis, and the disappearance of most of the uniforms which had been a part of the campus scenery for so long. This year, too, saw the return of most of the schools and colleges on the campus to a regular two semester a year routine. And this was the year the College of Business Administration originated a regular freshman program in its evening schedule for those who could not be accommodated in the day classes. Father Brooks, being a Marquette graduate, has shown personal concern in the welfare of the school, and in guiding and caring for the intellectual, spiritual and physical welfare of the student body. The Board of Governors and the executive officers of Marquette, too, have done their part to maintain the University’s place among leading Catholic educational institutions m the nation. This year of 1946-1947 has indeed been a hectic one for all Marquette officials, but they have fulfilled all of their obligations in an admirable fashion. They well deserve praise for their work.

 The bell rings! Another clay begins. The statue of Father Marquette stands on its pedestal in the corridor near the entrance of Johnston Hall, surveying all who pass. Co-eds climb the creaking stairs and young men in sweaters and sport coats hurry to class, amid last minute questions about assignments. The bell rings again and all is quiet. Occasionally a student saunters up to the bulletin board to read announcements. The only sound is the faint rustling of the cassock of a Jesuit passing by. But the apparent peace and tranquility is a deception. Fr. Max Barnett, S.J., dean, is in his office beginning the daily struggle with shortages and overcrowded conditions. Two students are making out excuse blanks at the counter; three others are seated, waiting to seethe dean. Upstairs, pictures of old grads'' gaze down from their stationary position on the wall upon corridors now devoid of life. But the classrooms arc scenes of mental activity. Inside can be seen Rev.
