332' The N otre Dame man zs an exemplar Encompassed by a world beset with the tempting pitfalls of a secularistic society, we as soldiers of Christ have our work cut out for us Fortunately we have an illuminative b infallibly pointing the way to salvation. We must be the living example of our truly Chris- tian Code of Conduct, exemplifying courage in a time of cowardice, leadership in a time of con- formity, prudence in a time of indiscretion, and magnanimity in a time of avarice. Let our years at Notre Dame be the beginning of a fierce, resolute dedication to our Codeg let us deepen the implications of our Code by our every thought word and deed .Qf 8
