A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT 1940 marks the 400th anniversary of the founding of the Jesuit Order. During that long period of time countless individuals have striven to uphold the highest ideals, often in the face of overwhelming opposition. In the training and educating of youth, the Society of Jesus hoped to bring about the inculcation of those ideals into the social order. Spring Hill College has already passed the century mark of service to youth, by developing character while promoting intellectual progress. In addition to the regular class work the students have many opportunities for extra-curricular activities, and of these the systematic recording of the year's events forms an important feature, for the annual should explicitly and implicitly portray the aims and purposes of the college. The 1940 annual is the result of a great deal of painstaking effort on the part of the editors, business managers, and their staffs. Without the cooperation of students and faculty the book could not have been published. All those who helped in the production of this book have our sincere thanks and appreciation, and we hope that all those who read this book and cherish it as a memoir will have a greater and deeper love for Spring Hill College.
