Las An oyoUn Vol. 15 — No. 20 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY OF LOS ANGELES May 28, 1962 Farrell First Lion Given NYU Grant John Farrell, ASLU Vice-President, has been named re¬ cipient of a Root-Tilden Scholarship to New York University school of Law. The scholarship is valued at over $3,000 a year for three years, and John is the first Loyolan to win one. Only twenty of these scholar- <£- ships are awarded in the United States, and Farrell had to com¬ pete with over 100 applicants to win one of two scholarships given in a five state district. The Root- Tilden scholarship is granted on the basis of grades, leadership, and a personal interview which John had to attend in San Fran¬ cisco. The Root-Tilden program al¬ so entitles the scholar to join the special seminar and summer read¬ ing course. Public Leadership Recipients of the grants are young men who, in the opinion of the selection committees, show! an unusual capacity for unselfish public leadership. Housed togeth¬ er in a modern residence hall at NYU, Root-Tilden scholars take part in a special tutorial program with courses in the humanities I and social sciences. They also are j afforded personal contact with leaders in industry, the legal pro¬ fession, and public affairs, and I each has an attorney or a judge (Continued on Page 2) RILEY BIDS FAREWELL John Farrell, winner of N.Y.U. Law School Scholarship. It seems like a few days ago that I entered Loyola as a green Fresh¬ man, with wide eyes and saying “sir” to everyone who demanded gum and cigarettes. The verdant color of a Frosh has changed to the crusty hue of a graduating senior. The eyes are less wide now and a little more wrinkled. I bestow the title of “Sir” on very few people nowadays, I don’t want to give the impression that we sen- iores are already to do post¬ graduate work in geriatrics, but! Fr. D'Arcy, wel we are a little more patriarchal University. Ш sill known theologian and recent lecturer at Loyola and some what more profound than we were in 1958. Name in Paper Looking back I can say I have enjoyed it. I have made a number of friends on the faculty and stu dent body. I even got my name in the paper a few times too. When my children begin to read, I can give them copies of the Loyolan to look at. It will be good elemen¬ tary reading for them. When graduation comes though, I have got to take more with me than just friendships and me¬ mentos from extra-curricular activ¬ ities. The world off the hills is not concerned witfT what I take but with what you and I will give. Let us hope we can give some sig¬ nificant contributions. But what we give must not merely be reflected in worldly achievements. We must also give the benefits of our train¬ ing that will help us and others fulfill our obligations to God. Many of us Seniors have not finished our education. I am going on to graduate school. Perhaps I'll see you in court in a few years— as a lawyer that is. DENNIS RILEY, JESUIT TELLS OF MAN S OUTLOOK “Man’s frightened outlook in a hostile world is the result of lack of confidence in himself through his lack of knowledge of God,” according to Rev. Martin Cyril D’Arcy, S.J. Father D’Arcy, one of the Society of Jesus’ leading philosophers, recently honored Loyola in an academic convocation in which he delivered an address entitled, “The Existential Anqst.” He stated that “man has spent the last 200 years preoccupied with conquering the world, but in the meantime has^ - - - — gotten away from his reliance on God.” According to Fr. D’Arcy, we are suffering from a pagan¬ ism which dreads death as the only absolute reality. This mod¬ ern fright or concern is reflected in western literature, art and the theater. A return to the belief in God — a return to man’s con¬ fidence and reliance upon Him — is the answer to the problem con¬ fronting modem man. Father D’Arcy is a graduate of i Oxford University and a former Master of Campion Hall. He has been on the faculties of Fordham, Notre Dame, Cornell and the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies. He was head of the En¬ glish Province of the Jesuits from 1945 to 1950. Father D’Arcy has received hon¬ orary degrees from Fordham, Mar quette, the National University of Ireland, and Georgetown where he now resides. Among his works are Biology Prof Gets Banquet Dr. Carl G. Kadner, Chairman of the Biology Department and Professor of Biology, will be hon¬ ored at a banquet marking his twenty-five years of service to Loyola on Tuesday, May 29.
