Readers of this article have the copyright owner’s permission to reproduce it for educational, not- for-profit purposes, if the author and publisher are acknowledged in the copy. The Heart of the Lasallian Educational Ethos1 William Mann, FSC, DMin2 My work as a Brother of the Christian Schools on the international level has allowed me many and diverse experiences and led me to the point in life where I have, more or less, begun to expect the unexpected. However, never had I imagined the surprise of being invited to stand before you today as the recipient of an honorary doctorate. I assure you that it is with a deep sense of admiration for De La Salle University and its faculty that I participate in these Commencement Exercises. That this educational institution, so very highly esteemed in the international network of Lasallian schools and universities, honors me – and through me the Brothers – is a truly humbling experience. I wish to thank Brother Armin and Dr. Quebengco and to express my gratitude to the Board of Trustees for this recognition. Invisible and Marginalized No Longer I’d like to tell you a story. Not so long ago, I was touring a school much as I toured DLSU campus yesterday; and on that visit I met a troubled youngster named Calvin. He was eleven years old; and he was attending a school for the emotionally, behaviorally, and academically challenged.
