Father Superior Thomas P. Cosgrave. S.J., Father Superior. Located at the University of San Francisco is one of the largest Jesuit communities in the United States. Directing the religious and personal lives of the member priests, brothers, and scholastics is Father Thomas B. Cosgrave. S.J., who holds the position of Father Superior. Most of his official contact with the University and academic community comes through his being Rector of St. Ignatius Church. Because it is situated on campus, this church plays on essential role in the religious life at U.S.F. Lather Cosgrave feels how ever, that it should assume on even greater importance. This should truly be a University Church, a center of worship and religious thought for the entire academic community. It con, indeed, become such if students and loy teachers take a larger responsibility in assisting at Moss. There is a part in the new liturgy for each of these groups who can act as commentators and participants in the offertory procession. It is Father Cosgrove’s wish that the University and St. Ignatius C hurch be brought to a closer relationship in this manner. 13

Father President Charles W. Dullea. S.J. A Message to My dear graduates: Primarily, a University exists to teach responsibility. This badly overworked compound word means radically the ability to respond, to give answers. In your various major fields your departments taught you to respond, to give answers in science or business or the arts. Philosophy taught you to answer yourself; and theology to answer to God. A Jesuit University exists to form in its graduates the ability to respond to life. Answering life's questions seems to involve s«v- the Graduates eral stages. First the question must be understood: then you take a stand; and finally you make your voice heard. The University of San Francisco hopes its graduates will give answers, and correct ones. A correct answer is one which God would understand, and would Himself conceivably give. May He foster and direct this responsibility in each one of you. And as you go to meet lifes questions and give your answers, you go with our prayers always. Sincerely. 12 President

To him falls the task of correlating and overseeing all educational policies, programs, and procedures. He also acts as a coordinator of the work of all academic and auxiliary divisions, particularly where conflicts may arise. Official University statistics are also compiled under his guidance.

Since both these activities arc necessary facets of administrating a large and growing institution, this position necessitates constant contact with the public-at-large. Much of his work is also financial; he directs all the programs of seeking funds to provide for expansion. To him indeed should go much of the credit for directing and planning the growth of U.S.F. 14 Francis J. Callahan. S.J.. Vice-President
