FROM THE CAVE SUBLACUM DOWN THROUGH THE AGES, THE BENE- DICTINE ORDER HAS BEEN A LEAVEN IN HUMAN SOCIETY, PURIFYING, CIVILIZING, CHRIS- TIANZING. THIS SILENT POWER HAS EXERTED ITSELF, NOT ONLY THROUGH THOSE WHO WERE ACTUALLY MEMBERS OF THIS GREAT ORDER, BUT ALSO THROUGH THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO WERE THE BENEFICIARIES OF BENEDICTINE EDUCATION AND EXAMPLE. Q Q5 G THE STUDENTS OF ST. MARTIN'S, AS ALUMNI OF THE GREAT BENE- DICTINE ORDER, .HAVE THE SAME MISSION AMONG THEIR FELLOW- MEN AS HAD THEIR FELLOW ALUMNI OF LAST YEAR, AND OF THE CENTURIES GONE BY. A HER- ITAGE HAS FALLEN TO OUR LOT WHICH WE MUST NEITHER WASTE NOR ALLOW TO LIE IDLE. GOOD WORKS ARE EXPECTED OF US IN PROPORTION TO THE GRACES WE HAVE RECEIVED. WE SHALL BE DISAPPOINTED IN OURSELVES IF WE FAIL. G G G PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
