QEarI1inal'5 Bzsihenre 452 Jlilahisun Qbenue 39cm fork The Editors of the Senior Year Hook of 1916 of Fordham University. Gentlemen: XN'ith pleasure l yield to your request that 1 accept the dedica- tion of the Senior Year Book of 1916 of Fordham University. the first of its kind ever issued, you say. during the seventy-five years of the life of .Xlina Mater. I congratulate you, my young' friends. and the class of 1916 on being so highly privileged as to be charged with the laying of the diamond milestone on the upward and forward path of a university which is the decus. honor et gloria of the Catholic educational system of this province. You are heirs of all the best fruits of the past three quarters of a century of l7ordham's life, and doubtless feel the burden of responsibility of such relationship, and are prepared to face it like brave men. How 1nuch every alumnus owes to his .-Xlma Mater, none but tlod can tell. The influence of environment on the making of a man's character is only a par- tially solved problem. The grace of tlod and free will are elements which can- not be left out of the reckoning, and it well may give pause to lind out how these were used. For my own part 1 am free to say and glad to confess that 1 must lay to the credit of old St, 'lohn's much of the best inspiration and strongest impulse for whatever has been of good report in my own life in t1od's service. The good nien-many of them truly great-who ruled in high and humble ways in Fordham before and after, as well as during my student days, have etched on my memory portraits of nobility that can never be effaced. The unwearied self-sacrilice in their work-the basis of all that makes for success-and their wealth of wisdom in its doing, 1 have ever found to be a light to my feet, a stimulus. stay and support. lt is just half a century since 1 left its sacred precincts, and 1 have never revisited its fair fields and hallowed walls without a renewed sense of my youthful affection and admiration for the memory of my dear old masters and guides. May God rest their souls! 1 feel the same too, for the men who, year by year, have trod in their footsteps these Fifty by-gone years. XYhen the century mark of old Fordham shall have been reached. we of an earlier generation, shall have passed from the scene, but you of the class of 1016, it is lawful to hope, will still live. 5
