4Mewaacl In reviewing the files of this annual book, we have discovered n0 dedication more apt to its occasion than that Which is now Offered. To confirm this in- ference, if validation be necessary, we ask the reader to observe What is written in the foregoing inscrip- tion. The present troubled disposition of human affairs, at home and afar, the strife and the striving that now try menis souls, that test their souls for strength of faith and works, inexorably require a heroic intellect and Will for capable spiritual, moral and practical leadership of the people. Such leader- ship is never unwanted, but never has it been wanted more sorely than in these, our perilous, times. That God has vouchsafed us, of the Faith, as of those out- side the Faith Who are of good Will, a that He has vouchsafed us such a leadership in the man, the priest, the prelate, Archbishop Lucey, surely no one Who reasons can doubt. We think it an occasion to' celebrate.

14 aCILdMOf fucey His Excellency, the Most Reverend Robert E. Lucey, D. D., Archbishop of San Antonio, was ordained in the American College at Rome in 1916. Returning to California thereafter, he held various pastorates until his consecration as Bishop of Amarillo in 1934. Throughout these years he was notably active in welfare work and held a number of important offices in organizations of wide jurisdiction. He was a member of the Executive Board of the California State Department of Social Welfare, president of the Catholic Conference of Social Work, Vice-president 0f the Catholic Conference on Industrial Problems, and chairman of the Southern California Committee of the National Association for International Peace. As Ordinary 0f the See of Amarillo, Bishop Lucey became nationally celebrated for his splendid program of Catholic Action and its remarkable fulfillment in performance. He established the Catholic Welfare Bureau and diocesan councils of Catholic men, Catholic women and Catholic youth. Not less notable was his interest in education. This he effectually evidenced by establishing new schools and enlisting new teaching communities in the educational enterprise of his diocese. The installation of the new Archbishop of San Antonio took place on March 27 in San Fernando Cathedral, with the Apostolic Delegate, the Most Reverend Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, officiating. On the previous evening, a civic reception was held in the Municipal Auditorium. Members of the hierarchy and laity from all parts of the United States attended the installa- tion ceremonies. Faculty and students of Incarnate Word College joined in a reception tendered to their Excellencies, the Most Reverend Amleto Giovanni Cicognani and Archbishop Lucey, on Wednesday, March 26. After the reception in the- Convent Chapel they were conducted to the college audi- torium to be greeted by the assembled student body holding papal and national flags. Following a brief musical program the eminent guests were welcomedein an address by Mari Katherine Vincius, speaking for faculty and students of Incarnate Word College. In response to this tribute of welcome, Archbishop Lucey thanked the assembled audience and expressed his pleasure in his Visit to the college. He then introduced the Apostolic Delegate as their distinguished guest and the ambassador of Pope Pius XII. His Excellency declared his gratitude for the cordial welcome extended him and his appreciation of the program presented by the students. Exhorting them to live up to the teachings and traditions of their Catholic college, he concluded his brief message and bestowed upon the audience the apostolic blessing. Their Excellencies, with forty-five Visiting prelates from all parts of the country, were guests of the college at a luncheon in the Brackenridge Mansion.
