Concern For The Future

He would like to see this type of concern
become a permanent characteristic of the
University, and thinks that it will. He hopes
young people will never lose this concern in
their lifetimes. To him failure for them will be
if they forget their commitments when they
are in positions of power.

"The past belongs to no one." Only the
future belongs to you. If you can help shape
something, that makes it to some extent yours.
This philosophy of Father Stickle's can be
illustrated by the situation he feels has
developed with the coming of women to the
University.

The decline in the importance placed on
traditional dress, although in itself an
insignificant matter, seems to him characteristic
of other changes that have occurred. This trend
has happened mostly within the past three
years or so.
