We, the trustees and regents, faculty, administration, and staff of gonzaga, are committed to preserving and developing that tradition, and communicating it to our students and alumni. S\s humanistic, ivt recognize the essential role of human creativity, intelligence, and initiative in the construction of society and culture. As Catholic, we affirm the heritage which has developed through two thousand years of Christian liv ing, theological reflection, and authentic interpretation. !As Jesuit, we are inspired by the vision of Christ at work, in the world, transforming it by His love, andcalhhg men and women to worl(with Him in loving service of the human community. 5tfl these elements of our tradition come together within the sphere of free intellectual inquiry charac teristic of a university. M gonzaga, this inquiry is primarily focused on Western culture within which our tradition has developed. We also believe that a knowledge of traditions and cultures different from our own draws us closer to the human family of which we art a part and makes us more aware of both the possibilities and limitations of our own heritage. Therefore, in addition to our primary emphasis on Western culture, we seek to provide for our students some opportunity to become familiar with a variety of other human cultures. In the light of our own tradition andthe varietyofhuman societies, we see^to understand the world we live in. His a world of great technological'progress, scientific complexity, and competing ideologies. It offers great possibilities for cooperation and interdependence, but at the same time presents us with the fact of widespread poverty, hunger, injustice, and the prospect of degeneration and destruction. We seek, to provide for our students some understanding of contemporary civilization; and we invite them to reflect with us on the problems and possibilities of a scientific age, the ideological differences that separate the peoples of the world, and the rights and responsibilities that come from commitment to a free society. In this way we hope to prepare our students foranenlighteneddedication to the Christian ideals of justice and peace. Our students cannot assimilate the tradition of which gonzaga is a part nor the variety of human cul tures, nor can they understand the problems of the world, without the development and discipline of their imagination, indulgence, and moral judgment. Consequently, we are committed at gonzaga to developing these faculties. And since what is assimilated needs to be communicated if it is to make a difference, we also seekto develop in ourstudentsthe skillsofeffective Writing and speaking. We beheve that our students, while they are developing'general' fqunoledge and skills during their years at gonzaga, shoutddlso attain more specializedcompetence in at least one discipline orprofesston. We fope that the integration of liberal humanistic learning and skills with a specialized competence will enable our graduates to enter creatively, intelligently, and with deep moral conviction into a variety of endeavors, andptovideleadership'in the arts, the professions,business, andrpu$ucservice. Through its academic and student life programs, the gonzaga community encourages its students to develop certain personal qualities: self-knowledge, self-acceptance, a restless curiosity, a desire for truth, a mature concern for others, and a thirst for justice. Many of our students will find the basis for these qualities in a dynamic Christian faith gonzaga tries to provide opportunities for these students to express their faith in a deepening hfe of prayer, participation in liturgical worship, and fidelity to the teachings of the gospel Other students will proceed from a non- Christian religious background or from secularphilosophic ana moral principles. We hope that all our graduates will live creative, productive, and moral hves, seeking to fulfill their own aspirations and at the same time, actively supporting the aspirations of others by a generous sharing of their gifts.
