What I want most of all is that a Xavier education be ofsuch qualitythat each and every graduate will say: 'I received an absolutely superb education at Xavier. 1 could not have received a finer education any where in the world.' I want every Xavier graduate to say: 'I know that 1 am intellectually, morally and spiritually pre pared to take my place in a rapidly changing global society and to have a positive impact on that society - to live a life beyond myself for other people.'
