As we move forward with this plan, few initiatives will be as crucial to its success as With Faith and Strength to Dare: The Campaign for Saint Joseph’s University. Earlier this fall, the campaign began in earnest with a weekend of events, including a spectacular gala to celebrate the progress made during the campaign’s silent phase and to anticipate the success going forward. A recap of this historic evening and more details of the campaign are conveyed in this magazine’s cover story. The campaign’s escalating momentum reinforces our goal of being recognized as the preeminent Catholic, comprehensive university in the Northeast. As the University’s first comprehensive campaign, With Faith and Strength to Dare is about fulfilling that vision as well as giving it meaning. Preeminence is about much more than being “bigger and better.” It is about offering the best possible living and learning experience, so we can provide to the world individuals who have critical thinking skills, intellectual curiosity and the moral discernment rooted in Christian values to create a caring and just society — to be men and women with and for others.

Libraries are often measured by the number of books on the shelves, the number of electronic downloads from the website or the number of instructional sessions. These are certainly valid and important numbers to showcase the number of STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS 2012 - 2017 DIRECTIONS 2012 STRATEGIC outputs of an organization. However, libraries are selling themselves short by so simply describing what we do with these arbitrary numbers. The true value of a library is in the moments where it can change a person’s life. Libraries are where people learn and Build learning environments in physical in physical Build learning environments and cyber spaces. ENVIRONMENTS 01 02 form new insights – they are a key component to intellectual health and the place on an academic campus that can inspire people to think differently. Information can change someone’s worldview as people not only discover new knowledge, but begin to think differently about the world that surrounds them. Unfortunately, these stories are not easily categorized and mea- sured by numbers in an annual report. What we have and offer 03 04 - resources, environments and guidance can be counted and compared. However, these other moments of transformation are often overlooked or forgotten – sometimes because a person is not physically in a library, but instead accessing library-provided materials online when they experience inspiration or a change in thinking. The Libraries’ successes may not be visible and assumed, but I hope that by browsing our annual report you also begin to think differently about how CONNECTIONS libraries impact your life.

A statute of 1 321 required all "Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors" of the University of Coimbra to wear gowns. In England during the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade "excess in apparel" and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. It is still a question whether academic dress finds its sources chiefly in ecclesiastical or in civilian dress. Gowns may have been considered necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings used by medieval scholars. Hoods may have served to cover the tonsured head until superseded for that purpose by the skull cap. The cap was later displaced by a headdress similar to ones now recognized as "academic." European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress.
