Governor Scranton in his address called La Salle and other private colleges "the backbone of higher education" in the state.
Alluding to the battle against unem- ployment and economic stagnation, Scran- ton emphasized the need for a strong educational system.
He outlined his hopes for a Council of higher Education which would prepare a master plan for higher education in Penn- sylvania. He also expressed the hope that the state constitution would be changed to make it lawful for the state government to sponsor a program of loan-scholarships for college students.
Following Governor Scranton's remarks "For the Commonwealth," Dr. Roland Holroyd, senior faculty member, spoke,

Dr. Holroyd delighted his audience with his reminiscences and emphasized, "the prevailing thought through the years ... has been SERVICE to God and to the community."
Dr. Holroyd:
"we could not at that time afford expensive research equipment, consequently we had to specialize in teaching."
"The art of teaching consists in making a student want to learn. Perhaps it is difficult, but it can be done. The familiar aphorism that 'you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make
him drink' is untrue. You can make a horse drink if you salt him first. So the student's interest must be salted." en m a x e 5
On Laetare Sunday — March 24 — the week-long celebration was concluded ap- propriately with a Pontifical Mass of Thanksgiving and the unveiling and bless- of an historic marker at the birthplace of the College.
The Most Reverend John J. Krol, D.D., J. CD., Archbishop of Philadelphia, cele- brated the Mass at the Cathedral; the Alumni Association installed the com- memorative tablet in St. Michael's parish afterwards.
The Most Rev. Gerald V. McDevitt, D.D., Auxiliary Bishop of Philadelphia, in his sermon extolled the College's first
i century of service as a "source of pride to priests, religious and laity of this archdiocese." |
"La Salle College," the Bishop said, "has attained its present status and has renewed itself repeatedly these one hun- dred years, because it was founded on a great idea, as valid today, as relevant to today's world, as it was to Lincoln's, when it welcomed its first class of freshmen." The Centennial Mass, a Pontifical Mass of Thanksgiving, was celebrated by His Excellency John J. Krol. Archbishop of Philadelphia at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul on Sunday, March 24. As long as it continues to thrive, he concluded, faithful to its beliefs and purposes, "there is still hope for society." Rev. Msgr. Edward T.
