In these words Pope Pius XII stresses the need of religion as the foundation of true education. If it is based on God, truth, and nature, education will be complete and permanent. By basing it on these three which combine in religion, we are using a founda- tion which has existed from the beginning of the universe until this present day and which gives promise of continuing to with- stand the sands of time. Leading educators of the day, such as Professor Robert M. Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago, and Mortimer Adler, professor and author, are urging that education must have some basic principle. Catholic educators have always stressed this fact. They have used religion, the relation between God, the Creator of all knowledge, and man, the seeker of knowledge, as the foundation of Catholic education. In this respect Catholic educational standards are far above those of schools which either ignore God or keep Him as a Sunday feature. Godless education cannot have any permanence, for it is founded on merely human principles. Of all the things created by God, the soul alone has eternal life. Yet godless education considers only the temporal life and completely ignores the eternal. How can modern educators hope to succeed by starting with a weak foundation? On the other hand, Catholic educators unite the temporal and spiritual in a preparation that is a credit to the individual, to the country, and to God. Unless American educational standards revert to this order- religion and morality Hrst-how can our country combat the modern evils which clutch at the throat of democracy? In this section of our Tower Memories, we have placed our faculty who have dedicated their lives to the cause of Catholic education, and our classes through which we received the Catholic preparation for life. We will always have a reminder of this training in our class rings. Firmly imprinted on the shield are the insignia, symbolic of ourheducation at Notre Dame, which was based on the shield of fait .

In this message Pope Pius XII showed his anticipation of future Catholic leaders to help bind the wounds of the post-war world through the use of Christian principles. Wliile other leaders have advocated their own petty schemes as the undeniable path to peace and justice, the proclamations of His Holiness have been those of one fearless voice speaking above all radical and national preju- dices. Perhaps the world is unwilling to believe 1 I -- 1--1 X11 .- this, but nevertheless the fact remains that Pope Pius is the greatest leader of today. As future leaders we look to him as the perfect example of leadership. Our education is based on the ideals and principles of His Holiness. It is preparing us for a life which will radiate these principles. Therefore it is only natural that we dedicate our Tozver MC'll1f1f1f'.Y to His Holiness, Pope Pius XII, the defender of all Christian prin- ciples.
