i jjJbaJSx KJ To the students of Saint Mary ' s College this year- book is dedicated. This is, without wishing to ap- pear apologetic, the most appropriate dedication that we can make. The GAEL is but an album, a series of memorable reflections and recollections of one year of student life. Its purpose and scope does not extend beyond that limit. However, that year is in itself nothing more than a small facet of a much grander scheme, commonly referred to as the tradition of Saint Mary ' s College. There are many components of a tradition, but by far the most influential and expansive is that group of people generally classed as the student body. Ul- timately and inevitably the character of tradition is molded by the students, and each successi ve generation becomes at once the inheritor and prop- ogator of it. An old adage says, in effect, that the only thing necessary for a school is the student, that he is finally his own teacher, and that his professors are actually present in their capacity of advisors or guides. Saint Mary ' s is a remarkable demonstration of what is right about this attitude. The moral and academic atmosphere which pervades the tiled buildings in the Moraga Valley Is a credit to the century of our ancestors at the college, and a challenge to the century of posterity upon which we have just embarked. The particulars of one ' s so- journ at Saint Mary ' s will fade with the years; what will remain is the timelessness of the spiritual and intellectual ideals and disciplines that have grown out of the heritage of one student associating with another, be it in the classroom seminar, the playing field, the dormitory or the chapel. It is in these areas that the education of Saint Mary ' s is mani- fested and typified, where the philosophy of the Brothers of the Christian Schools is in great measure fulfilled — that in their common pursuits of mind, body and spirit, the students educate and mature themselves and their fellows, ever aware of their ceaseless responsibility to selves, neighbors and their God. To the students of Saint Mary ' s College, in the confidence that they will always remain loyal sons of their alma mater, this book is re- spectfully dedicated. The theme, as well, of the 1 964 GAEL is the stu- dent, as he is set against the background of col- lege life which to a great extent is his own cre- ation. We have attempted to depict as accurately and concisely as possible the preparation involved in the production of the Saint Mary ' s man.

Only an America which practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice will be respected by those whose choice affects our future. Only an America which has fully educated its citizens is fully capable of tackling the complex problems and perceiving the hidden dangers of the world in which we live.
