Millions of migratory birds, the Porcupine Caribou herd, polar bears, and a spectacular pristine wilderness are threatened, as pro- development forces make the strongest push ever to drill for oil in the refuge. There is scant evidence you can drill the Arctic in an environmentally sensitive manner: even under tight scrutiny, oil companies have continued to have accidents and spills in the nearby Naval Petroleum Reserve. A footprint in a wilderness area is still a footprint, and in the case of oil development, it is much more, including thousands of acres of roads and pipelines.

  • AR 10-11-Online Version.Indd
    President’s Letter Dear Chaminade Family, Recently, I was returning a test to my junior Christian Humanism class. The test material was mostly from Man’s Search for Meaning by Dr. Viktor Frankl. Many alumni will remember this staple of the junior religion curriculum in which Dr. Frankl shares his story of life in a concentration camp and the lessons he learned. Some alumni share that it is their favorite book from their four years at Chami- nade High School; other alumni offer, hopefully jesting, that it is the only book they actually read. As I walked up and down the aisles of the classroom returning the tests, one junior looked at his grade and sighed audibly, “Thank God.” His relief about his higher-than-expected score left me smiling and wondering if either a miracle had occurred or if I had made a calculation error. We bantered about his relief and class ended. Thank God! From one perspective, this is the fundamental lesson we seek to teach at Chaminade High School. We tell our students and remind ourselves that all we have is a gift from God. Thus, both our attitude and actions ought to proclaim a common theme: Thank God! This annual report attempts to echo that theme in its own small way. We pause to thank God for you and your gener- osity. We close the books on the 2010 Torch Fund conscious of the abundant blessings received. Although the total dollar amount lags behind our record year 2008 by $291,673, the number of donors reached a new all-time high for Chaminade with 6,247 contributors.

  • 2018–19 Commencement Program
    Commencement UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BOULDER FOLSOM STADIUM MAY 9, 2019 One Hundred Forty-Third Year of the University NORLIN CHARGE TO THE GRADUATES The first commencement at the University of Colorado was held for six graduates on June 8, 1882, in the chapel of Old Main. It was not until 40 years later, on September 4, 1922, that the first summer commencement was held. Since the first commencement in 1882, the University of Colorado Boulder has awarded more than 350,000 degrees. The traditional Norlin Charge to the graduates was first read by President George Norlin to the June 1935 graduating class. You are now certified to the world at large as alumni of the university. She is your kindly mother and you her cherished sons and daughters. This exercise denotes not your severance from her, but your union with her. Commencement does not mean, as many wrongly think, the breaking of ties and the beginning of life apart. Rather it marks your initiation in the fullest sense into the fellowship of the university, as bearers of her torch, as centers of her influence, as promoters of her spirit. The university is not the campus, not the buildings on campus, not the faculties, not the students of any one time—not one of these or all of them. The university consists of all who come into and go forth from her halls, who are touched by her influence, and who carry on her spirit. Wherever you go, the university goes with you. Wherever you are at work, there is the university at work.
