For the historical record, I should point out that our charter is much older than that, dating back to 1910. Under this charter the University of Dallas existed for a dozen years in a handsome, huge structure on Oak Lawn, later occupied by Jesuit High School. There are many proud graduates of that institution around who love to reminisce about the old school. But there came a time when the Vincentian Order, who ran the University, found the going difficult and turned the charter and name of the University of Dallas over to the safekeeping of the Diocese; thus it was preserved for us, a good name to grace a new institution set on a hill overlooking the city.Item Faculty Day 1966(1966-09-06T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldThe second decade of the University of Dallas is opening with great portents. Even nature has paid us homage; for the first time in our history green grass will be on our campus at the opening of school--not only green, but mowed and trimmed, symbolizing, I suppose, our emergence from the wilderness. EVen now, the bulldozers are gathering to lay back the ground for a gymnasium, a graduate building, and the first structure deliberately designed to be useless, a tower. It is a mark of our maturity that we have resources to spare sufficient for a wholly symbolic edifice, one that expresses not so much our pride as our aspiration.Item Fall 1964 Convocation Speech(1964-10-01T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1964 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1965 Convocation Speech(1965-10-01T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1965 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1965 Convocation Speech(1965-10-01T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1965 opening Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1966 Convocation Speech(1966-09-20T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1966 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1968 Convocation Speech(1968-09-11T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1968 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1969 Convocation Speech(1969-09-09T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1969 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1970 Convocation Speech(1970-10-01T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1970 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1973 Convocation Speech(1973-09-04T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1973 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Fall 1974 Convocation Speech(1974-10-01T00:00:00-07:00) Cowan, DonaldFall 1974 Convocation speech given by Dr. Donald Cowan.Item Humane Living in an Age of Technology(1990-01-01T00:00:00-08:00) Cowan, DonaldOur society has already entered a new age, in which the basic social structures are undergoing radical change. Most people refuse to recognize the shift and are ingeniously trying to preserve or restore the old. They are busying themselves with educational reforms, economic strategies, strict concern for property and for profit; they doggedly insist on reinforcing the crumbling walls instead of building new structures: "back to basics," the frantic attempt to raise scores, the insistence upon literacy as the single qualification for membership in society, the futile effort to stem a tidal wave of drugs and debauchery with the fragile moralism of a past age. But however we may strive in this direction, the new is among us, whether we like it or not. We are into a new cultural situation, where individual enterprise and ambition will be insufficient motives for the operation of society. Competition, the safeguard against conspiracy, our traditional way of fostering individualism, is no longer effective in an economy not ruled by scarcity. but by the plenty that technology provides. Aggressiveness ceases to be an advantage and is no longer counted a virtue. The question is, can we -- believers in progress that we are -- make a low-key society work?Item Kerygma, Spring 1962(1962-04-01T00:00:00-08:00) Hargrave, John; Bartscht, Waltraud; Zimanyi, Rudolph S.O.
