truth - - . II Go, Therefore, Teach ye all naTions . . . The disciples lisTened inTenle To These parTing words of Their Lord as They sTood on The MounT of Olives and waTched Him ascend inTo Paradise. His lasT command was one They would earnesle obey by Taking His Teachings far and wide. And so Their idea spread. From Tiny PalesTine To The greaTness of Europe They went. To new lands and To a New World men and women carried The Cross of ChrisT and The Lamp of Knowledge. The descend- anTs of The original Twelve TaughT in bleak caTacombs, preserved civilizaTion in Their large monasTeries, preached The docTrines of Their beloved ChrisTianiTy and insTrucTed The masses in manual and menTal arTs. From early days, caTechumenal and caTecheTical schools exisTed for The Teaching of religion. In The caThedral schools, founded afTer The fall of Rome, The quadrivium and Trivium were inTroduced inTo The curricu- lum. Aquinas, AugusTine, and ScoTus Tor- mulaTed Their philosophies. Alcuin, Bellar- mine, and La Salle reformed educaTion while Serra, Jogues, and Philippine Duch- esne carried The knowledge and meThods of The Old World To The New. IT is on The Teachings of These ThaT Siena College is based. Since all educaTion direcTs man To his lasT end, ChrisTian Education musT see man in his enTireTy, body and soul. The TaculTy of Siena College, ever mindful of The Teachings of ChrisT, has nobly dedi- caTed itself To The Task of imparTing The arTs and sciences, To The Task of moulding The whole man. For if The TruThs of religion are bloTTed OUT, as Cardinal Newman Tells us, H is The same as if we were To indulge in The appeTiTes and passions, and Turn a deaf ear To reason. We, Therefore, The Class of 1958, salUTe all The qualified, courageous, and God-lov- ing Teachers who are giving so abundanle of Their wisdom To prepare The TuTure leaders and Teachers of The world. We pay honor in parTicular To Pope Pius XII, The Bishops of our diocese, The TaiThTul Friars, and Lay professors who have sTaTTed Siena since her incepTion in 1937. IT is To These men ThaT we humbly dedicaTe our year- book; To These men and To The ideals which are ChrisTian EducaTion.
