BISTAN BUSINESS MANAGER MISS AGNES C RENNER ADVISOR PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENT COUNCIL SAINT AMBROSE COLLEGE DAVENPORT, IOWA Foreword As you look at The Oaks today, be it 1961, 1984, or 2001, it should recall one of those years at your Alma Mater. Just as this was one of your transi tion years, so too, it was a period of growth for St. Ambrose. This decade of the sixties brings titanic problems to the private college. At St. Ambrose, the challenges have been made, the prob lems have been recognized. This 1960- 1961 school year saw many varied programs to meet these challenges — maintenance of Christian principles in a pluralistic society, continued academic excellence, a new look in athletics, phys ical expansion without loss of personal ity, better facilities and activities for student development. Although the academic year 1960- 1961 was a good one for St. Ambrose, it was not the transition year. The first phase of a new age for the College was born; the challenge continues. The editors, recognizing the advance ments and changes that reached frui tion during this year, take as the theme of the 1961 Oaks, Ambrose in transi tion; the acorn now a seedling, grows to the mighty oak. Dedication When something definitive is finally said about the priest as teacher in America, the experience of St. Am brose will not be without its signifi cance, and the lives of two St. Ambrose priest-teachers now approaching the fortieth year of service will surely be a contributing factor in that definition. Such is the tribute the 1961 edition of the Oaks would like to pay to the Very Reverend Edward M. O'Connor, Rector of the seminary department, and to the Reverend C. Francis Grif fith, Spiritual Director of the same department. Two remarkable individuals, each in his own right, Father O'Connor and Father Griffith have been associated together in the minds of most Am- brosians as "Father Ed and Father Grif" since they joined the academy- college faculty in 1922, immediately after ordination. While qualifying for the highest competitive degrees in their fields of scholarly competence — philosophy and history — Fathers Ed and Grif have never been satisfied in their in terpretation of the priest-teacher vo cation at St. Ambrose to limit their daily round of duties to a narrow speciality. In their almost forty years, they have given generously of their time and effort in this dual role; and all without the view that what they did was particularly exceptional. Yet we know their selfless dedica tion and endearing personal attributes are a living inspiration of exceptional magnitude to student and alumnus, layman and priest. To Fathers O'Connor and Griffith, with deep respect and affection, the 7967 Oaks is dedicated. SB Jtt iHeiwmam , s.. REV. WILLIAM F. LYNCH, S.T.B, Ph.D. Born December 7, 1905 Ordained May 21, 1932 Died December 5, 1960 The flag flew at half-mast in December as the Col lege mourned the death of one of its most beloved faculty members, Father William Lynch. In the scientific sphere his achievements received international recognition; to us he represented an inspiring example of man's never ending thirst for knowledge. Scientist, educator, and priest, we must place em phasis on the latter. His warmly human, yet unas suming qualities enhanced the nature of his calling. His loss was deeply felt by the whole of the college community. "Behold a great priest who in his days pleased God."

On graduation day the class of '61 passed over the plat form in front of Ambrose Hall and joined the ranks of thousands of other alumni. As they looked to the future with enthusiasm, they could recall four gratifying years of study and fun not easily forgotten. Four years of knowledge to build on, enriching experiences, convivial occasions enhance the familiar in troduction. "Remember the time that . ."
