Catholics have always recognized the distinction between clergy and laity as one of divine origin, instituted by Jesus Christ Himself. But this distinction is not conceived as the basis of separation and opposition, rather as the prerequisite for union and cooperation. just as the Lord sent out his Apostles two by two in order that charity could be exercised between them, so did he establish his aposrolic force in two groups that the energy generated by a union of love might carry the Gospel to all nations. The objective of the clergy and laity is identical-the preaching of the Gospel and the salvation of souls. And while the greater burden of the task tests on the cleric, the layman is by no means entirely free of responsibility. One Catholic layman whose life reHected a deep realization of this responsibility was the late Jerome Walton, member of Sienais business department since its beginning. Only the hundreds of students who met Professor Walton in his office at the College Placement Bureau and received guidance from him know to what extent he contributed to the salvation of souls. But anyone even casually acquainted with him could know that by his example as Catholic educator, patent, counselor he preached the Gospel of Christ. The 1960 SAGA honors with its theme the Catholic layman and his roll in the Church. It is proud to point to a Catholic layman after whose life Siena graduates might model their own. Therefore, the Class of 1960, out of deepest appreciation and gratitude, dedicates the SAGA to Professor Jerome Walton. s 221x . av, adage ..- i
