PRESllDENT'S MESSAGE Each recurring Spring brings to fruition the Gael annual. To the casual reader, this outgrowth of stu- dent talent and activity may be just another journal, but to those who have edited it the history of its growth must be something quite different. Nourish- ing any seed to fruitage in the face of favorable cir- cumstances is a work that needs delicate handling, but when the seed is an idea, and the circumstances are adverse, the miracle of growth becomes doubly astounding. The good soil has again produced the good fruit: our splendid student administration, in cooperation with the-Iunior Class editorial staff, has given just another account of its many virtues. The Gael is an outgrowth, not only of individual effort, but an outgrowth of the nature of the cur- ricula to which Saint Mary's College submits all its students. The courses here, while allowing wide room for the increase of individual initiative, have as their chief and paramount function the develop- ment of informed, alert men of character. My heartiest congratulations to the student ad- ministration and to the lunior Class on the appear- ance of our year book. lts contents will prove, l believe, that men of character are already in our midst. BROTHER ALBERT, i President of the College.
