My dear Graduates This year of vour graduation coincides with the world-wide quadricentennial of the death of St Ignatius ol Loyola. Founder of the Society of Jesus That tribute extended to Ignatius for the past four hundred years has been so extraordinary that tt is hard to explain It is not because he is declared a Saint ol tho Church—others are. too It is not because he excelled in exceptional brilliance of mind: others far outshone him It is not because of greater accomplishments—others were his peers in more and larger accomplishments What was it then that made those who wore no admirers of tho Jesuits say that No man since the dawn of history has exerted such an influence on the world as Ignatius did '? The answer. I believe, was his God-given ability to select, to inspire, to mold, and to develop men in the likness of Chnst St Ignatius was pre-eminently a builder of men That Ignatiun influence will continue as long as there aro Jesuit universities. Jesuit colleges, and Jesuit high schools throughout tho world? for it is you. the men and women, the products of thorough Jesuit education, who continue to extend and to diffuse his spirit in the world about you Your vocation is to be leaders in Christ-likeness and to Christ-likeness For this was your mind informed by the best in human istic culture and in the scientific tradition that is the Christian heritage; for this was your heart and mind formed in the philosophical and moral training that you have received at the University During your years on the Hilltop you have matured physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually With the imprint of Ignatius upon you. go forth now to exert Christian and (Jatholic leadership in the society in which you live You have been given the instruments to mold the minds and hearts of others The Grace of God will be with you Very sincerely yours 9
