My Dear Graduates : Hlnitium Sapientiae Timor Dominiw - True wisdom is founded on the fear of the Lord. - Such is the motto of St. lVlary's, and in parting I place it in your trust that it serve as both guide and inspiration for your entire life. The truth of this motto becomes tangibly and tragically obvious in view of the condition of todayis World full of chaos and confusion brought about by those who do not fear the Lord, viz. materialists, atheists, communists, etc. St. Mary's endeavored to make of you God-fearing men - HHomines timentes Dominumn - because only when a reverential fear of the Lord becomes the lodestone of inspirations and projects, can man contribute to the real progress of humanity. Codfs Wisdom is reflected in the Works of the man who fears Him. lt is his guide in everything he does. The Creator alone knows best what is good for humanity. And only that man who walks with reverence and humility in the light of Godis Wisdom can be considered qualified to lead his fellowmen to that good which can be attained on earth. uTimentes Dominurni'-God-fearing men-are the unaturall' enemies of those Whoido not fear the Lord. Collaboration with these is tantamount to a conscious and heinous betrayal of the Lord. Let your lives, therefore, unfold themselves over the paths of the careers that you have chosen. But Whether your span of life is long or short, be, I pray God, always God-fearing men -- HHomines timentes Dominumv. - ' 2 olfwignor agznma Forty Seven if -A' -A' if Fifteen
