 • THE CELEBRATION OF THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHARTERING OF SEATTLE COLLEGE BY THE JESUIT FATHERS AFFORDS US OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR PROFESSORS OF PHILOSOPHY, AND TO SALUTE THEM FOR HAVING IMPARTED TO US THE SPLENDID SCHOLASTIC TRADITIONS. WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF A SYSTEM WHICH STAUNCHLY DEFENDS ITS TENETS AGAINST THE INROADS OF MODERN SECULARISM; A SYSTEM WHICH IS EVER ALERT TO DEFEND THE SACRED DIGNITY OF MAN . . . WITH PROFOUND GRATITUDE AND SINGULAR PLEASURE WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO THE REVEREND DANIEL J. REIDY, S.J., WHO EXEMPLIFIES THE MEN AND THE TRADITIONS TO WHICH WE ARE SO INDEBTED. FATHER REIDY, WHO HAS COMPLETED HIS EIGHTEENTH YEAR AS PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY AT SEATTLE COLLEGE, REPRESENTS AT ONCE THE EXEMPLARY DIGNITY AND THE WISE ASSURANCE OF THE SCHOLASTIC PHILOSOPHER.
