  The Ambassador: 1953

  Assumption College

  Congratulations to the graduates! You have topped one high hill with distinction and we are proud of you! I hope it is not necessary to remind you that although you are graduating you are still very young; there still remains "Alps upon Alps" of rugged learning to be striven for. While this thought should make you humble, it is comforting for you to know that you are shod with the sturdy principles of Christian truths. If you don't deliberately and unreasonably throw them away for easier walking, you won't slip. You will be able to scale the dizziest heights of Arts and Sciences and feel steady in the Art and Science of living. God Bless You!

  The graduating class of 1954 will always be a memorable one in the history of Assumption College; this class will be the first to graduate with Assumption College degrees. At the moment of this historic happening, we of the staff congratulate you heartily, and wish you Godspeed in your life's quest. We hope you will return often through the years and that you will be able to see that the old school has flourished in its new independence. Pray that Assumption may nobly serve the cause of higher education.

  Assumption College

  Home has a deep appeal to the human heart, because true family spirit, deriving from the Blessed Trinity, begets unity, affection, helpfulness and joy. To teach us this spirit, Jesus was born in the holiest and happiest of families. His Church is but a wider family circle, an extension of the Holy Family. The nation is a chain of families. The religious orders are spiritual families. Every worthwhile organization thrives only in so far as it has esprit de corps, a genuine family spirit. The dedication of this issue to our beloved Father LeBel is a timely reminder of the excellent family spirit which is the pride and joy of Assumption College. By word and deed may the graduates spread it everywhere as harbingers and promoters or world peace!

  Assumption University (Windsor)

  Another academic year is just about over and I hope each of you has benefited a great deal. You, after all, are the persons by whom the outside world will judge this institution and we hope that wherever you may go you will carry with you the ideals, the learning and the character development which the Assumption staff has tried to inculcate. Like persons, institutions develop with the years. We also hope that the larger responsibilities, which Assumption is assuming in the university field, will manifest wisdom and understanding. It is the intention of the administrative offices of the university to do all in their power to widen, develop and improve the educational facilities for the students of Windsor and its environment. Let us all hope and pray that the future will see realized the laudable ambitions of all of us. God be with us all.

  The Ambassador: 1957

  Assumption University (Windsor)

  Whether there be special value to the hundredth year of an institution or not, the fact remains that the graduates of this year are the first of the second century. This is not the place to review the events in the history of Assumption since February 10, 1857. It may be, however, the time to point to what is permanent in the many changes of the past hundred years, and what will be permanent for the next. Assumption's prime purpose has been, is now and ever shall be to implant in the soul of each student and teacher, the abiding Christian values of goodness, discipline and knowledge. May our second century's growth stem from these sturdy roots.

  The development at Assumption University, which you can notice in almost every corner of the place, is similar to a development on all University Campuses. Your elders are making every sacrifice REV. E. C. LeBEL, C.S.B., M.A., CD. to provide adequate staff and facilities to give you every opportunity to develop into an educated person. In the days that lie ahead the problems of our complex world will be in your hands. Yours will be the responsibilities which lie so heavily on the shoulders of the men of today. To meet this challenge you must be thoroughly equipped intellectually and morally. May each one of you accept the burden of being serious students today so that you may be the right kind of leaders tomorrow.

  The Ambassador: 1959

  Assumption College

  We have only to read the daily press and magazine articles to realize the vital importance of education, particularly higher education, in all countries of the world today. Government, industry and private are spending greatly increased monies to meet this emergency. Money and facilities however can do nothing to stimulate the brains of students unless they possess understanding and good-will. Assumption like all Universities, is endeavouring to meet the need. The program of studies and the daily routine of life at this University are primarily aimed at the production of educated persons. We sincerely hope that each of you is aware of our world’s needs for educated people and your responsibility to yourself. your country and the world, to become an educated person.

  The Ambassador: 1960

  Assumption College

  We are so busy tailoring ourselves to our jobs and perfecting our various roles in life that we often ignore ourselves. Knowing who we are takes courage, but it is the only way to live. From time to time the ultimate questions "Who am l?", “Where did l come from?" "Why am I here?", “Where am I going?", intrude themselves and demand an answer. They are disturbing and uncomfortable questions. We can and often do hide from them by a chaotic program of activity. We can turn on the radio or watch TV rather than submit to a silence which brings with it these inevitable and tormenting questions. Sooner or later we must face up to them. When we have answered them to our complete satisfaction, then and only then we may say we begin to be - not merely exist. Each of us will discover that the soul demands to be unfettered by time and unconfined by space. We are made for eternal things. Let us be courageous and face the problem of being ourselves before trying to be anything else.

  Assumption College

  The University exists for the sake of the student. All the staff, equipment and program focus upon the process of Teaching the young to love learning and make it a lifetime's habit for them. Formal classes and daily assignments however, do not exhaust the ways by which a student learns. He should know that extra curricular activities can be a means of developing one's personality. While knowledge is desirable for itself, it never-the-less can be applied in group activities which have goals that will benefit a wider public than one's self. If it is possible, I would urge you in the name of self development to participate in student activities in a direction which can benefit others. Basically, education is the application of knowledge motivated by love. It can be summed up in better terms: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Or more briefly, don't be selfish!

  Assumption College

  Two Countries, two cities, side by side, joined by a bridge . . . the Ambassador Bridge. Next to the bridge, in the Canadian city of Windsor, there lies a university campus - Assumption University. Within the buildings of that university, young men and women of all races, colours, and creeds undergo a vital part of the process of growth. When these young people leave this campus, they will have been prepared to be ambassadors to the world . . .ambassadors giving freely of all their talents, discriminating against no one, co-operating for a better world in which to live. This is Assumption’s story . . . one of blending. one of inner growth, one of learning from all things. As we live so do we grow.
