FOREWCRD Because this book is being published at a time when the hope of the world hangs on a thin thread, the Telolog of 1945 has taken on a rather sober note. The world is at war, and so is every person and thing in it. We realize, however, that our country has been engrossed in this struggle for almost four yearsg and we can see the end coming in the not too distant future. It is for that time, when the efforts of the whole world will be devoted to the establishment of peace, that we have prepared ourselves here at St. Benedict's. With the cooperation of our excellent faculty we have received the necessary foundations to enable us to face the world and conquer all obstacles. Within these pages we have tried to capture the true spirit of Benedict's by portraying places and scenes which are familiar to all of us. We will soon be obliged to leave our Alma Mater, but we hope that this brief review of our past four years will keep us in constant contact with Ever dear St. Benedict's. fl?'--:.i,.- i- :+ A Page 5

DEDICATIO Because this is such a vital subject and even more because the future of the world depends upon it so, we respectfully dedicate our book to the establishment and preserva- tion of peace. Although it seems ironic for us to consider such an ideal at a time when the total efforts of all the peoples of the world are united in cruel destruction rather than peaceful construction, there is no doubt that the entire war will some day be won. The tremendous might of the United Nations is being manifested today all over the world. As the war progresses, however, and man's destructive skills become more and more developed, it is evident that this holocaust must be the last that will be allowed to ravage the face of the earth. It is even more evident that if a third war occurs it would undoubtedly be the beginning of the end for the human race. We owe it to the men who are Hghting for us, moreover, to do all in our power to help make a wise and lasting peace. Millions of men all over the globe have already made the supreme sacrifice for this great cause. These sacrifices must not be made in vain. God has created men to love one another and respect their neighbor. If nations would follow this example, a great step would have been taken toward an enduring peace. The numerous inventions and discoveries already brought out in this war have greatly shortened the spans between countries, but this should only strengthen inter- national cooperation. For it is along the road of cooperation and understanding that the thoughts of man must travel to reach the inevitable and indispensable goal -PEACE.
