Only a sincere search for objective truth and ':r a fearless respect for Christian principles will bring to light a solution for the economic, socio- logical, political confusion of the nations. Only the Saving Truth of Christ as guarded and inter- ,- -- preted by His Vicar stands squarely in the path of EQ: those who would deprive their fellovvmen of moral 1' and intellectual and political freedom. The men of St. Joseph's can enter the world of affairs with the assurance that they have been provided with the intellectual and moral weapons that enlist them in the forces of Right. God grant that the graduates of '48 and those who will follow them will carry the message of Christ to their fellow citizens with courage and with prayer! nt of St. Joseph's EEE.. ..EEE l l l -5- 32 3' COLLEGE PRESIDENT l Page seven

We look for its coming with the anticipation that our love for the school keeps alive. Each year we feel that the accomplishments of the college surpass those of former times, and we hurry to offer our felicitations. We greet the members of the faculty, the students, and all who com- bine their efforts to bring St. Joseph's to the front as an educational institution. We rejoice in the success that has attended every effort, and pray God to continue His favor upon all who are a part of St. Joseph's. xi ,,.e,,,,.,..,a.Z,7' Bishop of Lafayette in Indiana
