The year 1954 saw Xavier one step closer to the completion of its ten-step development program. Since 1851, when The Athenaeum accepted the challenge of educating Cincinnati's youth, Xavier has been a builder of men, maintaining a substantial position in the community. In realizing the great need for further development and improvement because of expected higher enrollments and a broader curriculum, Xavier continually looks to the future. Upon the ob- servance of the dedication of the new Logan Chemistry Building, ia major addition to Ohio's educational facilities, Xavier received a letter of congratulation from Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States. With the help of Almighty God, Xavier will continue to maintain its place in the community, will continue to build leaders of tomorrow, will continue to contribute to the build- ing of . .

Page 67 Reqiuuiesean FV REV. MURTHA T. BOYLAN, S.I. Rx-:v. Dmziizi. A. LORD As he was about to board a bus en route to an assignemnt at the Little Sisters of the Poor on Iuly 15, 1954, the Rev. Murtha Boylan, S.I., was stricken fatally. He had spent thirty-two years at the University and was its oldest active professor. Father Boylan's students and friends admired him for his extra- ordinary kindness and humility as well as his learning in psychology and philosophy. At the observance of his silver anniversary at the University, a former student concluded the formal tribute to Father Boylan in these significant words: lt seems to me that if Saint Ignatius were to return tonight from his heavenly abode to this earth of ours, he might well find Father Boylan to be the Jesuit nearest to the ideals he had in mind when he founded the Society of Iesusf' May Father Boylan, exemplary Iesuit priest, enjoy eternally the reward of his sanctity. Millions of Americans knew the late Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ., as an author, educator, orator, raconteur, and zealous priest. Xaverians, however, were even more indebted to him. They had a more specific reason for grief when the news of his death reached Cincinnati. They remember Father Lord not only as a Iesuit who participated in University affairs many times but as the composer of the treasured University hymn, Xavier Chimes.

Father Lord's friends pray and believe that he has found lasting peace in the Creator he loved. I l
