TlBl SERVIBE BEGNABEH VII In New York's historic St. Patrick's Cathedral on Wednesday morning, October 24, 1945, the Most Reverend William A. lScully was consecrated as Titular Bishop of Pharsalus and Coadjutor Bishop of Albany. The Most Reverend Edmund F. Gibbons, Bishop of the Albany Diocese, ofliciated as Consecrator of his Coadjutor. Installed as Coadjutor Bishop on Monday, October 29, 1945, Bishop Scully immediately assumed part o'f the gruelling responsibilities which so burden Bishop Gibbons. With his kindly yet efficient manner winning the confidence of Albany Catholicity, Bishop Scully saw to it that the zeal which had heretofore characterized his entire pastoral life would manifest itself in continued spiritual beneficence. Act- ing in her capacity as diocesan school, Alma Mater extends him loyal support. F231
