Page 5 Time, counted by the years since 1831, has been an impartial witness to the presence of Xavier University. Space, too, has been impartial. Space has seen her seeded, growing, transplanted, cut back, growing, not yet cut down. From Sycamore Street to Victory Parkway, from 1831 to 1960. But we are not impartial. Neither will they befthey who are about to come, to pass through, to cling perhaps. Somewhere between these antagonistic realizations of impersonal, anytime, anywhere spacetime and our own rightly important being-a dry-mouthed and choking awareness that each of us has and can only have him- self, an awareness whose thirst is given to drink by its own passionate clinging only-A somewhere between these notions lie the ideas of other men, the idea of a university, if you will, the ideas in which we know other, ideas pulled off the printed page, quickly excised from sheets of mimeograph paper, ideas hanging-sometimes till dead-in the space between desk and chairs, ideas throttling or soothing the air between conversants. To those who have chewed and choked, to those who have hung and to those who have done their share of hanging, to those who have somehow assimilated-life-death ideas they know they must, even to crawl intellectually, to them, to us, to all who have, do and will know this, to these, we dedicate this book.
