r) ' Science has achieved wonders. It is perhaps because of students, as these, who are the scientists of tomorroir. Not so long ago men were group- ing blindly in the various fields of science. Now, with perseverance, discovered principles, and intricate mechanisms to guide thevi, they explore every possibility as man foiges ahead in science. The Jesuit LIniversity does not wish to present Catholicism as merely a creed or cult. It wishes to have Catholicism esteemed as a culture which canvasses human activity wherever there is human activity. Catholicism is not a system of principles to be held on high and admired, it is a practical pattern of life limited to no particular walk of life. Training in the sciences is furthered with this in mind that whether a man earns his livelihood in medicine, biology, chemistry or physics he utilizes in thought, word and deed the principles of the Catholic Church. The first of these princi- ples is that God is the first cause of all things. Tj omanv modern scientists deny this fundamental principle and as a result have reduced the natu fcf man to that of a merely corporeal entity.

The Commerce College, like the University as a whole, recognizes the futility of education without morality.
