proving cooperation among the schools on the Alcala Park campus. "The John Price Jones Company of New York was hired to examine and investigate our schools. The result was a 108-page study cover- ing every phase of our educational operation. "Everything seems to point to the necessity of bringing about a c6rpor- ate merger of all our schools. At the present time, this is only a pro-

The last named school is being transferred to St. Patrick's, Menlo Park, California, in Septem- ber of this year. "The institution known as 'The San Diego Col- lege for Women' was chartered by the State of California on Decem-

ber 2, 1949, about three weeks after The Univer- sity of San Diego. This institution is now, and has always been, auton- omous, distinct from The University of San Diego. "Early last fall, the Presidents of the Col- lege f r Men and the College for Women, the Dean of the School of Law and the Rector of the Seminary held sev- eral meetings to discuss ways and means of im-

"Whether the corpor- ate merger will become a reality, and when it may become a reality, time alone will tell. "One thing is abso- lutely certain at this moment, and it is that the Diocese of San Diego

our poor people, many of whom will never see the inside of a college, to support our institu• tions of higher learning. If the public, Protestant, Jewish and Catholic, wish our magnificent heritage f private edu- cation to continue, they will have to unite to find means of support- ing us in our hope for a corporate merger and the consequent obtain- ing of corporate funds to continue our educa- tional program."

cannot any longer toler- ate the staggering finan- cial burden placed upon it by the operation of the schools which were chartered as 'The Uni- versity of San Diego' on November 19, 1949. These schools have al- ways operated in the red, and the red is assuming a deeper and deeper hue with each passing year. "In conscience, as Bishop of the Diocese of San Diego, I cannot ask

A corporate merger of the three schools on the Alcala Park campu has been proposed by Most Uev. Francis J. Furey. The Hishop, who is chancellor of the Uni versity of San Diego, brought this message to his audience in the Civic Theater last Saturday at the graduation of 250 students of the univer- sity's College for Women, College for Men and the School of Law. The text of Bishop Furey' talk follows:

Heritage, Dr. ove Tells USD Class .. Your heritage is nch and most of it is well worth preserving So huild on ,t and don't be eager to scrap everything just be- cause your legacy i less than perfect." This wa the me sage delivered to the graduati ng students of the l nlver 1ty of San Diego by Dr. Malcolm A. Love, presi- dent of San Diego State College and principal speaker at the t·ommenc •mcnt Dr Love t·Ontinucd, "The Constitution and the laws are the guidepost: of our freedom, but if we assume that they are of thc.,msclv s the guarantee of freedom, we err most dangerously. "The I iving. ubstance of freedom," he stressed, "is the concern and enlightenment. the virtue and faith of the people." It is nec- essary. he added, that we take an active interest in the affairs of our na!Ion "by part,cipahng rn community projects, by vot- ing and voting intelligently, by active opposition to corruption m all its forms, by an awareness of legislative and budgetary matters and of candidates for public office and, when qualif- fied, by running for office ourselves." Dr. Love w nt on to s;,y that the central problem is how to rcconc1le the claims of the individual and those of society. "What we all want is more freedom - not the freedom to do as we please to the detriment of our elves and our neighbors, but the freedom that come from wisdom and enlightenment." Limits Depends on Character How we impose these IImits on our freedom depends on char- acter. he added which cannot be legislated as Supreme Court decisions and he various civil rights acts amply illustrate. "Every generation has found an imperfect world," he said, "and every generation has seen improvements. My generation has not presented you with the kind of world you might have ex- pected, but we all have aspirations for that better world, for better feelings between men and men. 'We \\Ould eliminate man's inhumanity to man . But let us recognize that there are more people in the world today who have respect for individual worth, regardless of race, color or creed, than ever before in history." Dr. Love was the recipient of an honorary degree at the grad- uation ceremonies at which the Most Rev. Bishop Francis J. • Furey presented the diplomas. '
