FATHER SHANNON AWARDED DEGREE "TOO MUCH STRESS ON RED INK": FATHER SHANNON

The Viatorian, as the official organ of the student body and the f8<!ulty of St, Viator 001-

"You can't have good business conducted by bad men and no rt~pul;!ic can be successful when full of disloyal citizens," declared the Very Rev.' James J. Shannon, former chancellor of the Peoria diocese in his commencement address to the graduates of St. Viator college on Monday af- I ternooD. Father Shannon declared that business leaders of this generation have taken the human element out of business and life. "They talk more of red ink on the ledger instead of red blood in men," he said. "God intended that man should rule the market and everything else on earth, instead of these material and inanimate objects ruling man. Humanity i~ vitally essential to our life and we should not forget it.

THE ATHLETE Th!9nd of all education is threefold, for although It IS necessary to tr81n the mind in WIsdom, understanding and knowledge, by applymg oneself to the games of the mind which colleges and uru verst bes prescribe for students, and, at the same time to ennoble the heart in the channels of morality, Christian charity, and right living, it is likewise imperative to develop the body. The Greeks have told us, " mens sana in corpore sano," or a sound mind in a sound body.

We build up our mind in class rooms and study halls, trying to extract from books what we believe to be the wisdom that is based on the actual experiences of the authors.

These clouds wi ll arouse the waves of human emotion, seeming ly latent in thl! mighty sea of human unrest.
