Your Eminence Cardinal Mahony, reverend clergy and religious, distinguished guests, and friends: On behalf of Thomas Aquinas College, its students, its faculty, its Board of Governors, I welcome you to this 35th anniversary celebration of the founding of the College. We are joined in our welcome by our Honorary Dinner Chairman, who is a great patron of charities and education throughout the United States as well as here in Los Angeles, Sir Daniel Donohue. Daniel has done so much for so many. We would also like at this to time thank our terrific dinner committee. These people have done a wonderful job, and they’ve gotten this whole dinner together for us in a very elegant way. So, thank you members of the dinner committee. Others tonight will speak to you about the growth and the building out of our beautiful campus. Still others will give you some of the folklore and some of the interesting stories in the growth and life of this college. For myself in these brief comments I would just like to say that Thomas Aquinas College is the realization of a dream. This was a dream of a college that would imbue in its graduates a love and knowledge of all that is best in the Western tradition intellectually and spiritually, and all done in the light of the Christian faith. It’s an extraordinary institution. Our graduates are everywhere in this country, and they are doing great things. So again, thank you all so much for being here. Enjoy the evening! -- 35th Anniversary 2007 |
