Your diploma represenfs and cerfifies a con- siderable degree of achievemenf and, af fhe same fime, admifs you fo fhe vasf group of Jesuif alumni who are found fhroughouf fhe world. Four years ago you enfered Sf. lgnafius as boys: now you leave as young men. During fhose imporfanf years, like Our Lord, you advanced nof only in age, buf also in wisdom and grace. By your sfudies you increased your lcnowledge and acquired fhe habil' of logical, discriminafing fhoughr. Through daily associafion wifh feach- ers and fellow sfudenfs you formed friendships which will be firm and life-long. Above all, you came fo a deeper, more mafure undersfanding and appreciafion of your Faifh and of fhe principles of moralify which are based on fha? Faifh.

ModeraTor In a Time when many sysTems and TradiTions are losing Their idenTiTy, The LANGUAGES classics division OT educaTion aT ST. IgnaTius is sTiII wiTh us. IT is noT a sTaTic division, sTiTIed by a classical aTmosphere oT emoTionIess discussion and sTiITed phraseology, and clung To unreasonably by aging educaTors. Those who were aTTracTed To choose LaTin or Greek as eIecTives by conTacT wiTh Caesar's Gallic sWars as sophomores realize This is noT The case. Classical IiTeraTure and The web of hisTory and myThoIogy ThaT is iTs background can be dynamic and is made so by The inTeresT of sTudenT 'and Teacher. The classics graduaTe has read, in Cicero's own periodic prose, oT his TuTiIe aTTempT To save Rome as a republic by quashing CaTiIine's revoIT. VirgiI's pulsing hexameTer has Told him of Aeneas's escape from burning Troy and oT his desTiny To Tound The unTorgeTTabIe ciTy of Rome. From anoTher poinl of view, Homer recounTs To The IgnaTius classics scholar a Greek's odyssey from Troy wiTh an imaginaTion ThaT rivals ThaT oT Lewis Carroll. IT is Through such maTeriaI ThaT lgnaTians are inTroduced To The greaT wriTers ol anTiquiTy. BUT ST. lgnaTius's TacuITy has noT been Toiling Tor generaTions in blissful assurance ThaT all lgnaTians love and undersTand The classics. There are many oT us who obTain more saTisTacTion from one oT The vernaculars, wiTh Their less formidable grammar and Ii+era+ure. For many years, French and Spanish 'Filled This need.
