A true leader must have the power to command men and yet remain human. He must be human and superhuman. That a man can resolve his power of leadership with his human nature is indeed worthy of praise, but a man further resolving his lead- ership with the stark simplicity of the priesthood is truly great. A man of such resolution is the sixteenth president of the University of Dayton, the Very Reverend Andrew L. Seebold, A son of the Blue Grass, Father Seebold graduated from U.D. in 1924. He was ordained to the priesthood at Fribourg, Switzerland, ten years later. Receiving his doctorate from the Catholic University of America, he moved to the presidency of Cathedral Latin School in Cleveland. In 1953 Father Seebold was inauguratedpresident of the University of Dayton. Since his commencement of office Father Seebold has been a constant source of progress. With dynamic effort he has modified and innovated throughout the school. His presence has been felt in the construction of new buildings, introduction of new policies, and an entirely new atti- tude toward education. Here then we dedicate this book in humble gratitude to Father An- drew L. Seebold, who as leader of our hilltop, has bestowed his human personality on the entire University. cl clicca
