We dedicate it to the Alumni. The purpose of the book is to portray in picture all those elements of college life—even the smallest—which go to form the Villanova Student. The book tries to show in operation all the gentle influences which Villanova brings to bear upon her men so that they best may acquire the ideals which it is her loving task to impart. The ideals of a Villanova education are judged by the world, not in the abstract but concretely and in reality, by observing the conduct and achievement of those whom Villanova sends into the world as her graduates. The class of 1948 is happy to think that it is entering the ranks of such a worthy group of men. And both Villanova and her Senior Class of 1948 rejoice in the loyalty of the Alumni by dedicating this book to them. i
