I elicjioud vi I tied Reverend Donald Doxie Chaplain of the College for Men In harmony with its general objective of forming the complete man and its specific objective, the development of the intellectual and moral virtues which secure the foundation of a happy personal life and responsible citizenship, the College for Men has made an earnest effort to integrate into its curriculum a purposeful program of religious activity. Welcoming each student without respect to his religious background, the College is, however, a Catholic foundation, and offers to the student its vast heritage of spiritual wealth. On September 19, 1956, commencing the year’s religious activities. Bishop Charles F. Buddy, Chancellor of the University of San Diego, celebrated the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit in Saint Joseph's Cathedral. Both faculty and students joined in asking the Holy Spirit to bless their endeavors. Since this day was also the 42nd anniversary of Bishop Buddy's ordination to the Priesthood, a breakfast at the El Cortez Hotel was given in his honor. All the students were invited to attend this breakfast, and to celebrate the occasion with His Excellency and other guests. The College for Men, as well as the entire Diocese of San Diego, was honored when its president, Msgr. John Storm, was elevated to the rank of a domestic prelate by His Holiness Pope Pius XII. This was in recognition of Msgr. Storm's achievements and the marked progress the University of San Diego has made under his direction. On February 3, 1 957, Msgr. Storm was invested with his prelatial robes in the chapel of the College for Women. Bishop Buddy was assisted in the ceremony by the clerical members of the College for Men faculty. After the investiture, a reception for Msgr. Storm was held at the Koni Kai Club. Invitations were extended to all students. 100
