UNDERGRADUATES The spirit of an Order is exemplified in tlie lives of its most faithful members. With sixteen canonized Do- minican saints and hundreds of beatified Dominicans from which to choose, DA undergraduates selected patrons for the year: St. Rose of Lima, the first canonized saint of the New World; St. Thomas Aquinas, the Angelic Doctor, Patron of all Catholic schools; St. Pius V, the Pope who through the Rosary obtained the victory of Lepanto, saving Europe from the Turkish invasion; St. Catherine of Siena, the most illustrious of St. Dominic ' s daughters, of whom nature would have made a heroine, if grace had not claimed her for a saint; Blessed Martin, who is confidently invoked because of his kindly love for ail God ' s creatures, par- ticularly those in need. These and other Dominican saints may be said to exemplify the three spiritual dimensions of the Dominican life: the life of the mind in study, the absorption in God by prayer and contemplation, and the outflow of the soul into apostolic action. How sweetly rest those spirits blest. The saints of our dear Father ' s race; Whose lives shone forth o ' er all the earth In signs, and powers, and words of grace. — Antiphon from the Dominican Office of the Blessed Virgin
