.St-Jufe fo O Page 4 . 1 The year 1955 is one of deep historical significance to Xaverians, for it marks the 150th anniversary of the State ,of Ohio's admission into the United States of America. Xavier University and the Society of Iesus have been a part of the Commonwealth's existence since 1851. The name Ohio comes from the Iroquois and means great, a particularly fitting term. lndeed, the State has within her borders many of those factors which provide the greatness of America, and the life of the State seems to parallel that of the nation as a whole. Iust as the first colonists in the New World found a wilderness of awesome grandeur, so did the first settlers who came West to Ohio territory. Civilization gradually emerged where the wilderness had stood, as early Ohioans formed settlements and laid out farms on the land's virgin fields and forests. Towns and cities, business and industry, churches and schools, and other evidence of progress and culture came to be. ' Even today Ohio is America in miniature. Her cities- like Cincinnati, which has been called the city closest to the heart of America-are busy and beautiful. She has within her boundaries most of the resources, the manufacturing facilities, and the markets with which to sustain herself. Her economy is as diversified as that of any other state in the Union. Her agriculture and her factories are as varied as it is desirable for them to be. Her religious spirit is excellent, and her educational institutions are strong. Her transportation systems, her communication arteries, and her public utilities rival all others. And she offers limitless recreational opportunities. As Ohioans look back on a century and a half of growth and achievement, they know that their State's future promises to be even more rewarding, more brilliant, than her past. With a prayer of gratitude for the past and of supplica- tion for the years to come, Xavier University proudly participates in the Sesquicentennial observance.
