There is one short word which seems to me the key to education. A mono- syllable. God. — Arnold Lunn. In our search for knowledge in the sciences, either philosophical, natural, or practi- cal, we seek truth. The search is our attempt to recapture the Thought by which God, the Divine Logos, has cre- ated and orders the universe. It is be- cause of this that Catholic education functions as education should. At the University, our search is, as it were, the window through which the light of Truth ennobles and enriches our soul. Page 9

religions acadeniic athletic the jour branches of university life B The impatient rush and hurry of Amer- ica are shown in the field of education as in all fields. Specialized training to gain greatness in this life is emphasized to the point of minimizing training for the next life. One can not look far with- out realizing that our present day need is not technical experts but men and women of intellectual power and moral courage, men and women of general and genuine culture — a culture that is the result of the harmonious training of every faculty of the soul.

By its very etymology, education is pur- ported to draw out hidden capabilities in the human soul and render them active and efficient. Accumulated huts and imparted instructions are not edu- cation but a means thereto. In etluca- tion we are preparing; for the battle of life wherem we cannot be a storehouse of lifeless, factual ammunition but keen leaders of thought and activity. Practi- cal lessons in leadership are to be had each day and every day in the Univer- sity ' s extensive co-curricular program. P.?,cc 10
