Above Is a view of Iho flag on Iho main drive way as seen through the entranco to Mendel Hall. Along with the towering spires of the Chapel, tho flag symbolizes the two-fold aim of Catholic education. Those alms include not only the molding of men who are good citizens but also the molding of citizens who are good mon. The education which Villanova offers is indeed a priceless possession. How- ever oven more priceless than the train- ing recoivod are the many pleasant hours which one spends in the com- pany of his follow students. No moro fertile ground can be had for the culti- vation of life long friendships than the oxistenco of tho common aim to gradu- ate and the united offort to attain this aim.
