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

Shortly before the birth of this school year the administration of the University changed hands and our ' new era ' was continued by the Very Rev. Celestin J. Steiner, S.J. who was appointed presi- dent of the University. An alumnus of the University, Fr. Steiner returns to Detroit from nine years service as president of Xavier University during which time Xavier rose to national prominence due to his forceful leadership and efficient administration. He brings renewed hope to the faculty and students of U. of D. The 1950 staff is confident that Fr. Steiner will continue the present development of the Univer- sity and wish him every success in the realization of his plans.
