What Iwant most of all is that a Xavier education be of such quality that each and every graduate will say: 'I received an absolutely superb education at Xavier. I could not have received afiner education anywhere in the world.' I want every Xavier graduate to say: 'I know that I am intellectually, morally and spiritually prepared to take my place in arapidly changing global society and to have apositive impact on that society - to live a life beyond myself for other people.'
