Catholic Tra'Jition The Catholic tradition perme- ates all dimensions of USD- from the classroom to the base- ball diamond. That tradition has called the university since

its founding to treat each individual with dignity and to examine the Catholic legacy as the basis for a continuing search for meaning in contemporary life.
