Vice Principal’s Message…

Loyola College - Mettala, one of two hundred plus colleges and universities worldwide, in the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence and service to others, educates the whole person: caring for the mind, body and spirit of each student. With a primary focus on giving students the best Jesuit education, we infuse Jesuit principles into both the curriculum and the lives of students.

The heart of a Jesuit education lies in learning to discern God's will in our lives, and applying that knowledge to all we are and do (Jesuits‟ first Universal Apostolic Preference). We provide opportunities for on-going development of their imagination, conscience and intellect, and encourage and help them recognize new experiences as opportunities for further growth. We want them to see service to others as more self-fulfilling than just success or prosperity. It means in short, that a good life is an other-directed life.

In educational terms, the goal of a Jesuit education is the education of men and women for others, men and women who are agents for change. We‟re forming leaders for a more just world. This is what sets Loyola apart from other institutions- a degree with a difference! Annual magazine of ours will speak volumes of our efforts in the wholesome formation of students.

God bless our collective efforts!

Our Chief Guest today, Thiru. U. Sagayam whose office door bears a sign reading "Reject bribes, hold your head high" (in Tamil, Lanjam Thavirtthu, Nenjam Nimirtthu). This motto of him has repeatedly antagonized influential politicians and their supporters in Tamil Nadu. His effort to eliminate corruption has deliberatively pushed him to be transferred for 25 times in the first 27 years of his career. His humanistic perspective has also won him a reputation among the people; in the words of a Daily News and Analysis correspondent, "The common man's collector has become the hero of the local folklore. "In the past, at the time of assembly election 2013, all collectors were transferred except Mr. U. Sahayam I.A.S. and V. Palani Kumar, I.A.S. that shows his authenticity and integrity. He wins the hearts of many men and women by his simple life style. He goes out of his way to help people whenever we approach him. Thereby his notions created many people to adhere him for many inspiring speeches at various occasions for the youth. Though many colleges wanted him to visit their institutions, it‟s our most honourable moment to have amongst these heavy calls. A special note to be mentioned, to all quite know

6 that he is a Jesuit Alumni of Loyola - Chennai. Loyola - Mettala stands tall and proud to have him in our midst.

We are proud to acknowledge that we had good results, achievements in academics, research, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities of this year.

“In Jesuit education, particular care is given to the development of the imaginative, the affective and the creative dimensions of each student in all courses of study. These dimensions enrich learning and prevent it from being merely intellectual.” (Jesuit General Council doc.)
