Excerpt from The Loyolan, 1937, Vol. 14 Yes, I'm a Loyola man, 'l8. Behind such a statement lies a wealth of spirit and tradition that comes, not through a momentary victory for the old alma mater, but, rather, through years Of experience within the portals of this great university. AS the present year comes to a close, another group of students will be sent out into the world representing, in part, the twenty-ninth graduating class since the founding of the Lake Shore Campus in 1908 but, more generally, the type Of individual that Loyola is proud to call her son. It is with this feeling in mind that the average graduate asserts his heritage and declares himself to a hardened audience. It has often been said that tradition forms the nucleus of any university, for within the scope of this word is centered all that any institution stands for in the eyes of the world. It does not mean necessarily a won or lost column in a score book or the victories and triumphs which the university has accumulated during its many years of existence. Nor does it stand for a reputa tion which a small group of educators have earned throughout their existence. Rather, it is like a huge net combining features Of each department of activity, the absence of any one of which would constitute a tear in the pattern and eventually destroy the whole. This is tradition in the light which we will apply it to the sixty-seven years of higher Jesuit education for which we, Loyola students, stand. In selecting an institution of higher education that will constitute home for the period of four years, the aspiring college entrant faces a difficult problem. One who matriculates at such a university as Loyola must rightly be awed by the lofty position which its learning commands. For behind each Jesuit educational institution rises four hundred years of experience to draw from and names such as St. Ignatius Loyola, St. Robert Bellarmine, the North American Mar tyrs, and others too numerous to mention.
