 Whither you may go — please pause to remember that . . . ... You arc now the living expression of Seattle University’s endowment to the Soul of human affairs. That endowment embodies the highest ideals, the most wholesome of principles and the wisdom of tradition. Yours is a cherished role among men. In your studies, you have derived direction and perspective from the truths of reason and supernatural revelation and you have explored the futility in the experiences of man when living in ignorance of them. ... It is the prayerful wish of your faculty and administration that whosoever shall come to meet you and to know you shall find in you and in your deeds the charity of love, the virtuous fortitude of purpose, and the character, culture and competence envisaged for you as Christian educated men and women. ... We ask God’s Blessings on you always. A. A. Lcmicux, S.J. President Seattle University

[ ‘DedieaticM •I THE REV. FRANCIS JOSEPH McGARRIGLE, S.J., was bom August 8, 1888, at Vancouver, 15. C, Canada, the son of Elizabeth Sharp and Edward James McGarrigle. Father McGarrigle received his higher education at Seattle College from 1903 to 1905 and at Gonzaga University, from which he was graduated in 1906. He entered the Jesuit novitiate at Los Gatos, California, on July 30, 1906, and remained there until the completion of his classical studies in 1911. Until 1914 he made his philosophical studies at Gonzaga University, and from 1914 to 1919 taught at the University of San Francisco and at Santa Clara. On July 30, 1921, Father McGarrigle was ordained at Ona, Spain, completing his theological studies at Valkenberg, Holland, in 1923. Graduate work in theology was done until 1925 at the Gregorian University in Rome, from where he went to Florennes, Belgium, for a year of Ascetical Theology. Father McGarrigle pronounced his last vows at Mt. St. Michael’s, Spokane, Washington, in 1926. The next eleven years were full ones for Father, during which he taught at Mt. St. Michael's, became librarian of Oriental Theology at St. Mary’s Thcologate, Kansas, was Dean of Studies of the Oregon Province, and filled the post of Assistant to the Provincial of the Province. Four of these busy years, from 1928 to 1932, were spent building and organizing the Library of the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome. It was at this time, also, that Father was sent by the Vatican on a diplomatic mission to Lithuania. Since 1937, Father McGarrigle has taught philosophy at Seattle University. Besides his teaching duties, he writes scholarly articles on philosophy and theology which are published regularly in professional magazines. In 1944, Father published a book called “My Father’s Will’’ which is considered a classic treatment of its subject.
