The salutatorian spoke in brief as fol-
lows: THE desire for the truth is I'M
questionably most potent factor in man $
intellectual advancement. The narrow
limited scope of vision preferred by the
sciences does not satisfactorily elucidate
to man the all-important question of his
existence. Man gropes his way in dark
ness until the knowledge disseminated by
divine revelation illumes his path. The
aim OF all true education is consequently
the accumulated wisdom Of mankind
translucent with heavenly light"

tism and faith, three essentials in life.
The man believes in the man who who

and you rob him of his usefulness to HUI
manity.
