Hart XTN THE following pages are enumerated the members of the faculty of Villanova College for the past year and as we gaze at the faces of both the clerical and secular teachers, we arc filled with a sense of appreciation, for the good fortune that blessed us with them. These self'Sacrificing men, ever-zcalous in their efforts for their pupils success and imbued with ideals which are the objective of Catholic education, do their utmost in the classroom, and out of it, not only to train us intellectually, but also to mold our characters by their exemplary conduct and by bestowing on us their experience and imbedding firmly in our minds and hearts the desire of attaining those ideals, which they typify and which are our greatest assurance of success. More than once we felt that the lack of seriousness and co-operation on our part would diminish their unselfish zeal, but, on the contrary, they strove with renewed energy to achieve their purpose; that we should go forth as finished products of a Catholic college education. The greater number of our teachers have dedicated their lives to this work in the service of God, while the remaining laymen, whose abilities are worth and could command greater remuneration in the industrial world, labor here for comparatively little. Not until we have begun to make progress in life will we appreciate this fact in its entirety. This year witnessed the addition of several new faces among our instructors. To these, we address a word of welcome and to the whole staff, we extend our sincere gratitude and earnest hope that, whatever success attends us in our careers may be an everlasting source of joy to them.
