CThe following statement was made by the Rev. Michael J. 0'Connor, S.J., president of St. Xavier College in 1900, to the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, with regard to the advent of the Twentieth Century.J PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, 1900 The dawning century! May it bring to humanity a measure of peace and happiness filled up and overflowing! May it be marked by clean, whole- some living of the individualsg by just and honor- able patriotism of citizens, by old-time uprightness and comity of nations! May the scope of the edu- cation universally sought for in our latter day be so directed that the marvelous increase of material wealth and resources, which the dying century leaves us, prove but new incentive to grateful homage to the Eternal King, who rules us lovingly, guards our interests tenderly, and so shapes the destinies of our land as to fill every American heart with exultation, as he meditates upon the splendid place among God's peoples evidently pre- pared for his country if it but cleave to the prin- ciples of truth, justice and fidelity to its God. ,, , 25' ta 7?

The mid-century year 1950 is a time fo looking through the past to 1900, and fo peering ahead through the as yet formless future to 2000. Balanced in the middle of a century, 1950 could well indicate what that future will bring. So it is that the Mid- Century Musketeer records the events of the year to indicate how assiduously the Xavier family has assimilated the lessons of the past in making the present a good preparation for a better future. Xavier's past is replete with more glory and traditions than any historian has yet ade- quately chronicled. In 1831, when the Athenaeum was founded, the Rev. James O. Van de Velde, S.J., later bishop of Chicago, called the buildings on Sycamore Street an imposing sight. After the Athenaeum had been turned over to the care of the Jesuit Fathers and renamed Saint Xavier College, a Pittsburgh newspaper commented in 1842: It is one of the most flourishing institutions for the education of youth in the western country and when its many advantages become more generally known it will be among the most popular colleges in the Union. On June 28, 1900, twenty students were graduated from the college at commencement exercises in the Grand Opera House. The opening of the Twentieth Century found Saint ST.
