They are men of whom Xavier has been proud, for they showed forth in their lives the best of Xavier tradition. While there has been no insistence on the fact during your soiourn here, it is none thc less true that we have been proud of you during your student days.

H T is always worthwhile to repeat again and again that the ideal we set before our stu- dents is the perfect Catholic gentleman, an ideal that is only achieved through the harmonious development of both intellect and will. No Chris- tian gentleman was ever formed who was only a knower of the Good and the True. He must also be a doer. lt is the sincere desire of the Administrators and teachers of Xavier that all its students, then, be not only knowers, but also ready and willing to transfer what they know into intelligent action, action that will advance them and others toward the Eternal Goal, the possession of Him Who is All Good and All True.
