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

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

There is no finer scene, no more vivid and telling picture than that of happy youth — youth at play — youth that recognizes through guidance and educa- tion the true value of play. Athletics find encouragement in the Christian principle that the body is a God-given helpmate of the Soul. Its importance is readily seen in that even in God ' s plan, as with the Soul, it too shall have its regard. Proper development of the body is an important stepping stone to the full Christian life that God intends us to live. Page 1 1
