IN MEMORY npHE MEASURE of man’s goodness is unselfish giving: in this is - man like to God that he shares with others the riches of his own mind and heart. Greater than bounteous sharing of wealth is the sharing of the higher goods, the treasures of the spirit. Richly endowed with gifts of intellect and sentiment, Father Paul Speckbaugh sought ever to bestow of this bounty on others, sought ever to lead and inspire through love of the good and beautiful. As a priest, with loftiness of character, as an artist with rare appreciation of the finer things, as a poet with deep insight into all spiritual beauty, as a critic with understanding of the deeper meanings of life, he placed before others an ideal of scholar and saint. Death took him from us; robbed us of his presence when most we needed and wanted him. Bowing before the mystery of the Providence of God, we mourn his passing. But inspired by the thought of his presence, we seek to carry out the lessons he taught and lived. We hope and pray that some small measure of his goodness and greatness will live on in the many who profited by his word and voice, will live on in the many who loved him. Full well we know that we mourn the loss of one who can scarce be replaced — such is the position he occupied at St. Joseph’s as priest, as teacher, as director of student publications. We miss the kindly gentle¬ ness of his manner, the unselfish helpfulness of his guidance, the lofty idealism that marked every contact with him. And we are confident that his noble soul has found the perfect fulfillment of a life well lived in Him Who is all Truth and Beauty. His life was good. His presence was inspiration. His work was a spiritual symphony. Death has stilled his voice. It cannot rob us of his memory. With this thought in mind we dedicate ourselves anew to the lofty ideals of Catholic scholarship. And we dedicate to Father Paul, in loving memory, this year’s Twin Towers. Four
