TO THE GRADUATES OF 1954: As your days as students here at the Mount are drawing to a close, our hearts are filled with high hopes and lofty aspirations for each one of you. For four years you have been preparing yourselves to take your places in a world that needs Christian principles and Christian ideals. The theology that has been so important a part of your edu- cation, and the philosophy that you have learned here at Mount St. Mary's College have enabled you, we trust, to go forth possessing wisdom and values that measure happiness and success not in terms of material standards but in the light of eternal verities. Your graduation coming as it does in the Marian year should serve to emphasize for you the importance of realizing in your lives the ideals of true Christian womanhood embodied in her who is Hour life, our sweetness and our hope. To you the Church has given much and from you she has the right to expect much. To you the Church looks for leadership in the numerous fields that are the special sphere of women. From you must come her religious, her mothers, her teachers, her writers, her social workers, her medical technicians, her nurses .... Bring to these voca- tions the Christian social principles that you have learned here at the Mount. As graduates of a Catholic college, as true daughters of your Alma Mater, nmake all men feel the attraction of Christian goodness,N as Our Holy Father says of Our Lady in the Marian year prayer. Yours is a great apostolate, yours is a great responsibility but yours, too, is a glorious opportunity of bringing souls to know and to love God. As we bid you a prayerful farewell, we trust that you will be true to the work that has been confided to you. We follow you with our prayers. We ask Christ and His Blessed Mother to be with you always in all that you do. In your successes and in your failures turn to them for courage and help. Be true always to your Alma Mater and let her motto be your guide: DEUS ILLUMNATIO MEA. If God be your light, you will find true happiness That Christ keep you always near to Himself and that His Blessed Mother be your never-failing help is the daily prayer of Your devoted, Sister Rose de Lima

lIHAPlAIN'S MESS June, 1954 Dear Graduates, It is possible to look back over four years of college, to think dimly of stacks of books and piles of notes, to recall vaguely assignments by the score and examinations by the dozen, and then to realize with a sense of dismay that much of all that knowledge, steadily absorbed and periodi- cally disgorged, seems to have GE vanished. Little remains save bits and scraps of information, a word here, an idea there. The courses of your senior year may still be fresh in your mem- ories but already they are on their way to join the ghosts of the past. The dying echoes of nsubstancen and naccidentsn mingle with a distant rumble of sines and cosines, and through a faint murmur of Dante and Shakespeare comes arthropods. Was it a dream? it all? Of what use will it If this is your thought and the weak protest of the bryozoa and the Where has time flown? What did I get out of be to me? these your questions on the eve of grad- uation, then pause awhile. It is too soon yet to be arriving at conclu- sions and passing judgment. can make a fair estimate of You have to wait and look back before you the education you have received. What now seems to have been speculative, dull, unreal, impracticalg what now appears to have been you never learned or light of experience, life, will fall into place. confusing, disordered, haphazardg what you think have forgotten-under the impact of life and in the will gain meaning and significance, will come to Then you will look back with quiet thankful- ness to God for the grace of these years. For you have received, be it ever so imperfectly, the treasures of Christian humanism. The thought of ancient Greece, the institutions of old Rome, the discoveries of modern science, the gems of literature and the treasures of art have been caught up in the net of Christian Faith and delivered into your keeping. So live that you may be less unworthy of this trust. May always. the Son of Mary find His delight in you Devotedly yours in Christ, Father 0'Reilly. REVERENU JAMES O'RE1L1,Y Page Elezwz
