USD Magazine, Spring 1992

""W hen USO ended the formal phase of its "Education for a New Age" capital campaign last fall, President Author E. Hughes likened the celebration to a commencement exercise, a moment of transition, the closing of one chapter of the university's growth and the beginning of another. It also marked a time of transition for U Magazine, which for the past seven years has grown with the university, helping you track its progress, celebrate its triumphs and mourn its losses. As the university embarks on its march into a "new age," its magazine owes it to you to keep pace. You hold in your hands the first, halting steps of that trans– ition. To reflect the university's growing stature and recognition among Catholic universities and private higher education in general, U Magazine has become USD Magazine. In its pages, you will find some old favorites - from "Alcala Almanac" to "Alumni Gallery" - joining a broader mix of articles to reflect the intellectual energy of USO today. The leaders of USO have set high goals for the future of the univer– sity, and our goals for the magazine fall nothing short of gargantuan. We want to keep you informed about USO, about the vision of its leaders, and about the excitement of learning being generated by its faculty and students. We want to give you food for thought, explor– ing issues that sometimes have no easy resolutions. We want to enter– tain you, enlighten you, maybe even inspire you. It's asking a lot from a magazine and, like any goal worth achieving, it won't be an easy reach. Only you can tell us how we're doing in the months to come.
