WILLIAM J. DUNNE. S. J. PRESIDENT PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Gentlemen: We live each day and run the gamut of joy and sorrow, fear and strength, despair and confidence, gay humor and somber sorrow. Each day fades into another day and eventually another year has come and gone—and we have lived it. At the end of a year, what do we recall? Surely, not the mundane, the everyday tempo of existence. We recall the events which mark personal achievements, the success of a work which had our support, the admiration of those close to us. During your University career, the days pass much too fast. It may be a decade before you pause to remember. A Year Book will be taken from the shelf and just the turn of a page or two and memories will crowd in upon you. With the unsettled conditions of the times, many of you will be scattered to foreign lands on missions of War and Peace. Then, it may be that your only class-reunion will be through the pages of a Year Book which revives activities and associations of one's college years. When you return from the obligations to your country nothing will give you greater comfort and a feeling of “normalcy” than the revival of school memories. A university is measured not alone by its growth of buildings and equipment but in the formation of Christian gentlemen. In the years to come, may this record of one year's striving toward that goal be an inspiration and a re-dedication to that aim of the University of San Francisco. Sincerely yours.
