1 Je To THE STUDENTs: I wish to assure the student body of the University of Detroit in the pages of their ANNUAL that I have their interests, individually and collectively, very much at heart. It is my duty to see that the University does its very best for them; and the only reward the University expects is that they do their very best for the University by cultivat- ing a manly sense of responsibility and trying conscien- tiously to form habits, moral, intellectual and social, in accord with the standards brought to their attention by the University. The name of the ANNUAL, the TOWER, was suggested, I suppose, by the memorial monument which is so con- spicuous and graceful a feature of the campus. It was a happy suggestion, with its reminders of former students who did not hesitate to make the last and greatest sacrifice for the sake of their country. It hints at the lesson which this University has been builded to convey more earnestly than all other lessons, the lesson, namely, that there are things in this world more important than worldly success, more important than life itself. ‘The tower carries with it other significances. In olden times a tower was a place of military strength. Every young man who has had the advantages of a college and university training ought to be a strengthening factor in the commun- ity and the nation. [he word also conveys the meaning of altitude, of a high place from which the horizons broaden and disclose areas not visible to the man down on the ground. And education, if its opportunities are seized, will also help a man to rise above the lower levels, to see farther, to make saner judgments, to be a leader and a prophet for those whose vision has been more contracted than his own. It is my hope that this number of the TOWER will help to keep alive thoughts like these in our students, while it is treasured as a pleasant souvenir of their days on the campus and in the class-room. AM nthe. President
