THE TH l , - c - s ,4- fff N ' ff? J S DECADE BEGINS To the Precious Blood Fathers who have dedi- cated their lives to teaching men of St. Joseph's, this section is respectfully devoted. Unswerving have been these professors in aid- ing a struggling student. Through the years they have taught accurately, thoroughly, earnestly. To them goes credit for stimulating the love and pursuit of knowledge. So long as the Sanguinist Fathers reign in Col- legeville, the youths Who study here will ever he grateful for professors who Work with their stu- dents as fellow men. For individual, painstaking attention, for instilling the right and pointing out the error of desultory, unmethodical Ways, the learning element of St. Joseph,s is profoundly thankful. Truly, they have taught their charges how to live well.

No Jubilee volume of St. Joseph's College would be complete without a special tribute to the Society of the Precious Blood, and to the Very Rev. Joseph M. Marling, S.T.L., Ph.D., head of the American Province. Father Marling became director of the American Province during the summer of 1938, suc- ceeding the Rev. Dr. Ignatius Wagner. He spent his youth in Ironton, Ohio. Prior to his ordination in 1929, he pursued studies at St. Joseph's College and at St. Charles Seminary. During the two years following he taught Apologetics at St. Charles. In 1931 he began a three- year term of graduate study in the department of Philosophy at Catholic University of America, Wfashington, D. C. Father Marling returned again to a professorship at St. Charles in 1934. Three years later he was honored with a professorship in the department of Philosophy at Catholic University. In 1938 he was elected Provincial of the American Province. Qf particular worth have been the philosophical writings of Father Marling. He has been a regular contributor to The New Scfaolazsficism. As Provincial of the Society he is also president of the college Board of Trustees. His interest in Collegeville is genuine, as evidenced by his frequent visits and concern over college activities. All of St. Joseph's recent physical expansion can be attributed directly to the support of the Society of the Precious Blood. All members of the Society, whether priests, Brothers or Sisters, endow the college with years of unsalaried efforts. Here, then, lies the secret of an inexpensive, Catholic education. The Society of Precious Blood is wholly responsible for the apprenticeship to life as offered to the students of St. Joseph's. THE VERY REV. JOSEPH M.
