8 And he wanted it so. He wanted to advance civilization and culture, not to complete it. He was a Jesuit bringing to the Indians the beliefs of the Catholic Church so that they might advance and contribute to these beliefs. It was not a stagnant faith, but a dynamic one that advanced with the advancement of its members. Pere Marquette gave them the rock on which to build, the starting point from which they could strive to achieve perfection and thus do Cod's will. Is not this, too, a principle of a great university? ak vis bk I Visa' ' UT there was a challenge, a legacy left by Pere Marquette. His - Works and his hopes cried for a new champion. Who would dare to accept this challenge? VVho would pick up the work and push mm H 'Q 2 on to the horizons the French priest saw so long ago? g .4-J'sJ4w Pere Marquette's own order, the Society of Iesus, provided the answer to this question. They recognized the challenge and accepted it. In 1881 a group of Jesuit fathers summoned the tradition of centuries of Catholic education and founded a university in Milwaukee, inspired by the ideals of Pere Marquette. They, too, believed that the product of a rightly- ordered educational system was the whole man. They, too, believed that man's complex, many-sided character must be molded by solid Catholic principles before he could fulfill his position in the society of man and ultimately the society of God. To accomplish this they founded an institution of higher learning that was to overlook neither the natural nor the supernatu1'al. It was to make an attempt to perfect the whole man, intellectually, morally and socially to the fullness of his nature. It was to draw from both the discoveries of human reason and re- search and from divine revelation to offer a complete education. rs 61919 Q Ez' V M ,...., .:?,..:,lI' , ,--.2l 'J'.

So he became an explorer in spirit as well as in body. His life of adventure made him an explorer of natural things, of the vast virgin lands of the Midwest and the great Mississippi River. But that merely opened the door to a far loftier exploration-a search through the mysteries of the soul. His spiritual discovefies gave him the patterns into which he constantly worked to shape the ideas and minds of his people. And his work with their souls never would have been possible without his preliminary physical labor. He loved the natives and the beauty of what he had to tell them too much to consider himself. The minds of savages must be freed from error, he thought, their savage customs curtailed, yet their heritage must be preserved, their thoughts must not be enslaved. Pere Marquette was an explorer, leading his people through a maze of new thought and new values. He had found the truth himself. He felt it was his duty to show it to others so they could live their lives by it. ls not this, too, a principle of a great university?

He entered new x S g lands, building outposts of culture and civilization as he blazed his trails. Left behind was the work of erecting on his foundation, however solid, a structure that would produce the results he envisioned. Throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and down the Mississippi, he spread his energy and ambition and labor. But no matter how well his love and labor took root, there remained a challenge. This was a challenge for another generation to accept. I I I X X -----------I I X 'I' IIIII I, we .

T at IS ie Universityis way for that is Godis way, and the University, like Pere Marquette, has no other thought than that of doing what God wills. ' L? 'HE spirit of the University that the founders envisioned, too, was to be one of exploration, searching for the undiscovered, making ,I I, known the unknown. It was to be constantly a pioneer, seeking to bring intellectual discoveries to the fore for all to inspect. Not who III Mm If I fr 5, S4 only the discoveries of past ages, but new thoughts, new iields, new methods were to be constantly tried and tested and weighed for value. This was necessary for the University to accomplish its purpose. So it was with Pere Marquette. The University, too, must free savage minds from error, but to do that it must first find the error and recognize it. And when the error is found, it is replaced with what the University sees as the truth. The search is constant, un- ceasing. Through its teaching and its research, the University attempts to ac- complish its speciic end-the intellectual perfection of its members. Truth, it believes, is goodness, and only by pursuing this truth can man attain the growth that God meant for him. Only by achieving this truth can man be truly free. vt PK :If I I I I I 1.
