jf m eunaatm Who» is a Viilanova Education? Is 1» the student wearily grasping for the microscopic secrets of a living organism as the late winter afternoon shadows gather outside Mendel Hall? Is it the seminarian kneeling in meditation in the silent darkness of St. Mary's Chapel? Or is it the booming cheers which shake the Stadium as the rugged fullback crashes across the goal line, or could it be that light which burns late oach Thursday night in the basement of the C. F. building as the Villanovan is prepared for the presses? A Viilanova Education is all these things, and much more. It is the living embodiment of threo virtues urgently needed yet woefully lacking in modern society: Truth, Unity, Charity. The ideal of a Viilanova Education is the training of the whole in- tellect and will of the young man and the development of his whole soul through grace. Our traditions are not based upon massive buildings or effusive pedagogics, but upon the timeless achievements of men who, through the years, have endeavored to serve God and thoir fellowmen to the utmost of thoir ability. To these men and to all other men of Viilanova, past, present, and future, we reverently dedicate this 1951 Belle Air. UN itas
