In acknowledgment of their constant kindness and generosity to us, we, the three thousand students of Xavier University, dedicate this 1954 MUSKETEER to all the members of the Society of Jesus . who have served at Xavier University —because they have formed a University of which we can be justly proud. who are serving at Xavier University —because they have maintained and extended Xavier's posi­ tion among the many institutions of higher learning. who will serve at Xavier University —because of what they will do to maintain and build the Xavier tradition, especially in the lecture hall and in the classroom. We take this opportunity to thank them, and ask Jesus Christ through Mary to bestow His choicest blessings upon each and every one of them. Saint Francis Xavier, early priest of the Society of Jesus, holds aloft the cross as if in blessing on Xavier University. This statue of Xavier, which stands on O'Brien Terrace, is the gift of the Seniors of 1951, 1952, and 1953. Page 7 Tribute THE HONORABLE EDWARD N. WALDVOGEL Mayor oj CLncLnnaU The Staff of the 1954 MUSKETEER honors the Mayor of Cin­ cinnati, Mr. Edward N. Waldvogel, alumnus of Xavier and out­ standing Catholic layman in the community. Mr. Waldvogel has given many of his most important years to the citizens of Cincinnati, serving nine consecutive terms in City Council and three terms as State Senator. The MUSKETEER salutes Mr. Waldvogel. This Tribute was in print before the^untimely^death of Mayor Waldvogel on May 7, 1954. The MUSKETEER had notified him in February that it wished to honor him, and had received a letter of appreciation from him. May he rest in peace. Page 8 Requiescant in Pace Rev.

Page 11 With These Hands... Page 12 A D . Jesuit Fathers took a small college in Cincinnati and M slowly molded it into a great University, the Xavier of today. These hands have worked long and prayed hard so I that Xavier would become well known for its scholastic attainment, genuinely admired for its cultural interests, and N truly effective in its religious influence. Xavier today—with its Logan Hall, its Albers Hall, its Brockman Hall, and I its older buildings—is far more advanced than the founders ot the Athenaeum more than a century ago could have foreseen S in their most imaginative moments. Mainly through the efforts of its past administrators Xavier is what it is today. T May these hands, still guided by the Hands of the Saviour and His Mother, continue to build this splendid institution, R ever to the greater Glory of God.

President oJ Xai^ier Unn^ersity Father Maguire, president of Xavier for the past five years, is responsible for the construction of Logan Hall and of Brockman Hall. He has seen to it that Xavier will be equipped to handle an increasing enrollment. But more important is the influence that Father Maguire exercises in the academic and spiritual life of the Uni­ versity and in the affairs of the community. Page 16 Academic Council REV. PAUL L.

A faculty member of Xavier University begins another illustration of another point to another class. The faculty, well acquainted with the art of teaching, is made up of priests A and laymen. Some of them have been at Xavier for much of their teaching careers, and many were once students at Xavier, and are now esteemed members of the faculty. These men, staunch Christian gentlemen and leaders in the community, C are filled with the desire to bring Christ's teachings to Xavier students. May these educators retain the Holy Spirit, and may their hands poin^ out the life of wisdom and of righteous­ u ness to the men of tomorrow. May God grant them the light to know all things in their proper perspective, so that they in L turn may work for the greater glory of God. T Y ^"Vi TilP^j HINKLE HALL Page 21 REV. PAUL L.
