CHARLES W. DUI.LEA, S.J., President and Rcccor of the University of San Francisco, first came to this campus as an instructor in 1942. After his ordination in 1947, Father served as aide at the Jesuit curia in Rome for five years. He returned to USF in 1958 after his rcctorate at Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose. Only last year did he become President of the University. The President’s Message My dear graduates: An educated man does not have to know everything. But he does have to know where everything is, where it fits into the picture of the universe. He must know where God fits into things; he must know where he and all men fit into this world of matter and spirit. He must know that he is that strange creature that is part of both. He must be aware of the consequent tension and pull of the two extremes. For that reason an educated man must possess himself of a philosophy of life. That, basically, you have received from the University of San Francisco. This does not mean that you have read everything from Plato to Malraux: it does not mean that you have personally worked out an elaborate system to live by. It does mean that you have some conclusions as to the meaning of life. An educated man must be able to answer the question what is man and what is he for? The University of San Francisco has given you an answer to that question —and by that much you are an educated man. And as an educated man you must continue to stand on the shoulders of the past and learn from the accumulated experience of mankind. Someone has said that education is that which is left when everything you have been taught is forgotten. If that be so, then education is a formation rather than information. It is something that happens inside you, to your mind, to the spirit at the center and core of you. If you leave the University with this information, you arc indeed blessed. With that blessing comes my personal blessing and prayer that peace and happiness be yours always. PaRe 16
