The President's Message to the Class of T963 Gentlemen of the Class of 1963: You now leave the formal classrooms of your college life to go out into the world to face reality: You carry with you the positive values and working principles which your instructors so wisely and so generously imparted to you. But you will also find false values and practices that are at variance with them. Christ's teachings are simple, direct, and clear. Thou shall love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mincl . . . Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets. CMatt. xxii 37-AOD. But the good seed of love sown by Christ has been oversown with cockle by an enemy who knows well how to distort, disfigure and destroy the love and goodness in the minds and hearts of men. Everyone recognizes the beauty of love, but the times have never quite taught us the folly of hate. More often than not the hater accomplishes nothing save the shrinking of his own soul, This may be why Dickens depicts hate in the figure of a dwarf, the odious Daniel Quilp of The Old Curiosity Shop. Quilp is the pure embodiment of hate. He hates his wife, his friends, his business associates. He makes wax images of his victims and melts them. The point does not lie in the plot so much as it does in the fact that when Dickens, with his matchless insight into human nature, sought to represent hate, he did so in a form so stunted and Ioathsome. You were trained here at St. Vincent to go out as champions of truth and goodness and love. You must never ignore your responsibilities but rather you must learn to thrill to the privilege and opportunity that are yours in accepting and fulfilling them. Selt- respect cannot be purchased. lt is never for sale. lt comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when suddenly we realize that, knowing the good, we have done it, knowing the beautiful, we have served it, knowing the truth, we have spoken it. God bless you ever, I ' Maximilian G. Duman, O.S.B. President 1 Y of his Arctic Ends in the biology lab.
