The college retreat, February 20-22, had a new format. Class procedure
was suspended and the time was devoted to self-evaluation led by the professors. It was a first at St. Ambrose and "goes to maintain a long standing
Ambrose tradition of willingness to change and adjust with the times," said
Father John Smith.
Three evening lecturers keynoted the day's sessions. Msgr. Menke opened the retreat speaking on "The Church in the Modern World", an explanation of the constitution promulgated by Vatican Council II.
Dr. Robert Tobias of the Lutheran School of Theology, Augustana College, Rock Island was the second evening speaker. Dr. Tobias spoke on the
ecumenical movement and made us keenly aware of the differences and
similarities of our religious beliefs.
Fr. Lawrence Mullins, Vice-Chancellor of the Davenport Diocese, ended
the retreat with a lecture on responsibilites we have today.
