FCDREWCDRD Long has Saint Mary's kept faith with the Euro- pean Tradition of Culture, a tradition which is good and worthy. Through the decades, however, another tradition has gathered strength and grown as the school grew until it, too, has become an integral part of the heritage of the Saint lVlary's student. lt is the tradition that Saint Mary's is the Mother of Men. Few of great fame have come from her portals, though she has contributed her share of brilliant figures to the fields of literature, economics, and scienceg but men, in the fullest sense of the word, have come. Long lines of them had their beginning in the middle of the past century and men have con- tinued to march forth even to the present day. They have fostered the spirit which all who come here have learned to respect and in which they have sought to mold themselves. The tradition is not a thing that is written to be studied, it is a spirit, some- thing felt inthe quiet patio, the busy corridor, and on the playing field. Herein are presented but a few of the men of the past and all of the Class of l94O, a part of the innu- merable host who will some day be the old gradu- ates to a newer generation growing to manhood in the same tradition.
