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

The 5' cultq HE Faculty of Saint Mary's is composed princi- pally of men who themselves had received their undergraduate training here, who themselves had passed over the paths of education along which today they lead the many American boys of Polish descent who attend Orchard Lake. This excellent preparation adds greatly to the spirit of the institu- tion, and affords the members a better understanding of the students of Saint Mary's. Several of the others, on the other hand, have sought refuge at Orchard Lake from war-torn and enemy-infiltrated Poland. 'AC INCE the very first day that he came to Saint Mary's in the latter part of 1943 to take over the vacated position of Rector and President, Right Reverend Monsignor Edward Szumal has proceeded to inject into the execution of his duties in that re- sponsible post the energy, spirit and devotion which have so characterized his priestly life. His untiring efforts have brought great success and expansion to Saint Mary's, making it ever a greater and more im- portant American institution of higher learning. Reverend Joseph Rybinski, one of the oldest mem- bers of the Seminary Faculty in point of service, serves in the important dual capacity of Vice-Rector of the Institution and Dean of Discipline in the Seminary. Commanding a well-merited respect of all his students, Fr. Rybinski has been for years the in- spiring counsellor of hundreds of Ordinandi. Sixteen ir i' 'A' 'A' The majority of the members of the Faculty, having completed their philosophical and theological studies which led to their Ordination to the Holy Priesthood, were sent for post-graduate work and specialized training to the leading universities of Europe and America. Many pursued these courses in Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Poland, while others remained in America, where they received their Doc- torates and Masters from such institutions of learn- ing as the Catholic University, Notre Dame, Mar- quette, Columbia, Michigan and Detroit. Reverend Wallace Filipowicz, who had pursued his graduate studies in Eastern European languages at Columbia University, is the VicePresident of the Institution and Dean of Studies in the College De- partment, in which capacity he exerts a paramount influence upon the numerous collegians. The many financial problems of the institution are most capably handled by Reverend Alexander Cen- drowski. Fr. Al, as he is popularly called on the campus, has faithfully served Saint Mary's since his Ordination in 1925. Dean of Studies in Seminary is amiable Reverend Constantine Cyran, a philosopher and theologian par excellence, and a faculty member at Orchard Lake since 1922. The Eagle
