College.
The former director of St. Peter's College Institute of Industrial Rela¬ tions revealed last week that he will propose that three members be selected from the Student Council to meet with the Academic Council —a special committee composed of the President and the Deans of the College—once or possibly twice a month.
Info Exchange
"At these meetings there could be a salutary exchange of informa¬ tion," Father Dobson explained. "Student Council representatives may be in a position to acquaint us with situations of which we would not be aware. At the same time we may be able to explain why we are not able to do some of the things we would like to do."
Father Rector pointed out that information obtained from these
all directions," he said. "The possibility of friction, misunder¬ standing or resentment between labor and management through one or the other's failure to spread information is brought to a mini¬ mum."
During the ten years since his ordination Father Dobson has been engaged in industrial rela¬ tions exclusively. His first assign¬ ment was at Crown Heights Labor School in Brooklyn, where for two years he served as assistant director.
In 1946, Father Rector was assigned to St. Peter's in Jersey City. There he founded the St. Peter's College of Industrial Rela¬ tions, an institution which under his guidance grew into the largest school of its kind in the country. From St. Peter's he came directly to Canisius.

members of the faculty. Through this free flow of information Father Dobson feels a closer union could be fostered between faculty and student body.
The new president, who has attained a wide reputation as a labor relations expert, explained that this plan would be similar to what is known in industry as "com¬ munications." Industrial communi¬ cations consists of channels for the flow of information from manage¬ ment to labor and labor to manage¬ ment, and also from department to department.
"Under such a set-up there is an unimpeded movement of infor¬ mation going to and coming from

There are many aspects, phases and facets to college life. All of them have their place. They can be compared to a mosaic in which if every piece is filled properly in proportion to the whole, a beautiful picture results. Canisius College offers lo each of you athletic, social, cultural, educational and religious opportunities. If man were mere matter, there would be no necessity for our including the religious. Since man possesses a soul, that education which neg¬ lects the religious is faulty and inadequate. If each of you should place your main emphasis on the educational and balance this with a healthy mixture of the other activities yours will be a full, rich college life.
Education in the best sense is a cooperative venture and this education is a true preparation for life because after you leave our halls, your success and happiness will depend to a very great extent upon your ability to cooperate with others. When we say that educa¬ tion is cooperative, we refer to the necessity of your cooperating with your professors, the officers of your organizations, with the College authorities and among yourselves.
I look forward with pleasure to the opportunity of cooperating with you and of assisting you in the attainment of your goals and objectives. I do hope that your years al Canisius will be happy ones and that in the years lo come you will look with fond memories upon the days you spent with us.
