o• OFFICIAL BULLETIN l- President's Christmas Message to Students:

I• On the first Christmas night the world hos ever known, angels from Heaven sang of peace on earth and wel I they might, for the foundations of peace were being laid, un­ derstanding between men, and man's understanding of God.

Nineteen hundred and forty-eight Christmas nights I. have come and gone, and still. there is so little peace, so little peace between notions and within 'notions because there is as yet so little understanding between men, and so little understanding of God.

May the Christ Child brin~g you this Christmas above all else, the priceless gift of understanding, for with this giff will come peace. This wish will be my prayer for you and for the world during the Christmas season.
