SPIRITUAL . . . The education of the whole man is the immediate goal of St. Vincent College. The ultimate goal, however, which is the spiritual development of the individual, is the essential part of this education. Following the commandment to take care of spiritual development and all else will be fulfilled, t'herBenedictine 'community pro- vides the atmosphere and guidance' necessary to achieve this highest of all pursuits. Such opportunities are indeed a rare blessing to those who have come seeking knowledge. At no other time in the life of any man is it more important to secure a firm belief in those things that provide the strength and peace of mind so vitally necessary to withstand the hardships and doubts which occur in all areas of human endeavor. Whenever the minds andaprayers of every member of the community seek the glorification of God and ask for'THis continued guiclancetand grace, surely the spirit may rest, not in religious complacency, but inspiritual attainment. Op- portunities for such knowledge and spiritual peace are evidentin every phase of Vincentian life. From quiet moments of iiidividuall meditation' to the majestic re- joicing of hundreds ,of prayers raised togetherrin the3BasilicVa, each student may satisfy his particular needs and pei-S0,na11,1phgings.- Guidance ireadily offered by the college chaplain orlany ,member of themonastic community. The most satisfying reward to all that St. Vincent represents is to send forth students firmly believing that the contented man is the one who places his life in the hands of God for His Holy direction and use. -Craig McFadyen Felton 54
