.THE' XAVERIAN NEWS Foriy-lhree The Arts Faculty The student enters upon his scholastic year and assimi- lates, in part. the knowledge and culture imparted to him in the class-room. He gives little or no thought to the source of this information; since it is so much in the ordinary course of things. It is only after he has had quite a hit of school- ing that he recognizes the small part he plays in his own education. He then realizes the value of the external inHu- ences which exist in college. .The chief influence, after all, is exerted by the faculty of the institution, the quality of which is judged by the excellence of the professors and the men in charge. ' v AAs we are at the end of our school year it is fitting to consider the men who have done so much for our welfare. The faculty of our Alma Mater is. indeed, one to be proud of. They are men well versed in the subjects they teach, having had a broad and intensive training in all sciences. Moreover, there are other qualities which they possess that are of equal importance. These are their congenial personalities and their high character. Such men under whom we were fortunate enough to be plated can naught but exert an honorable and manly iniiuepce upon us. Surely. if we follow in the paths toward which they directed bur steps, we will become citizens successful in our work iand valuable to our fellow men. v
