The literature and literary endeavor of the students shall be preserved to future generations more carefully than will the memories of other activities— the students themselves have insured that memory, and have left a record of accomplishment which will outlast the enroachments of time itself. St. Mary's has always endeavored to instill in her sons an excellence and perfection in writing for a two-fold purpose, Eirst for itself, and second as a means to an end. as a means of instilling in them the appreciation of good literature. She has desired to send men into the world possessed of a facile pen backed by a clear philosophy and a keen perception. I low well her efforts in this direction have succeeded this year is attested by the success of her students in the many literary contests sponsored for just this purpose. In addition to her own institutional contests in which a high standard of excellence is reached, the names of her students are to be found near the top in the Intercollegiate Latin and English contests conducted for all the schools of the Jesuit Missouri Province. Thus in literary endeavor, as well as in other fields has St. Mary’s during the past school year been successful. Page 116
