Citadel 1961

Dedication and Theme

FIRST LADY OF THE CITADEL

The motive of education on the collegiate level should primari ly

be the development of the complete man, that is, development in–

tellectually, aesthetically and spiritually. Situated atop the sand–

stone citadel of Alcala Park, the College for Men seeks to form a

living pattern of education, deeply integrated with the attitudes and

means which produce this development, and ultimately, man's ma–

terial and beatific goals.

All aspects of collegiate life, administration, curriculum, stu–

dents, and activities are fused under the protection and guidance of

Mary, matriarch of the Christian world.

The Most Reverend Bishop in selecting the title of the lmmacu–

lata recognizes her as an integral force. The CITADEL '61 is

reverently dedicated to the Mother of God, under the title of the

lmmaculata; we look for maternal influences upon the spiritual and

intellectual maturation of the Pioneer man.
