"We must give graduates a comprehensive or 'catholic' vision of alJ things human in the light of Christ who is the sole ultimate answer, since he is God's word...who reveals to man his real dignity as well as his obligations and vital re~pon- sibilities.' · that "the Catholic university is the place beyond all others where young people must be helped in attaining the all•embracing vision which will be an abundant well- spring of light throughout their lives."
