Regis College - Ranger Yearbook (Denver, CO)

Dedication Regis is a growing institution. In the past few years this has been evidenced in all areas; education, athletics, and physical facilities. But there comes a moment when Regis must be recognized for what it is spiritually. For this is the key to success. Our ultimate goal and the fulfillment of our vocation here on earth depend upon the guidance of our soul. We put our trust in Regis, that through its directiveness, we may mature both mentally and spiritually. This development requires the effort of a wise, understanding, and patient man. It requires one who is not only capable of handling his own problems, but can offer sound advice for the prob- lems of others. With pride in his outstanding leadership and un- faltering guidance, the staff of this yearbook humbly submits the name of one comparable to this task of spiritual advisor, the Rev. Bernard J. Murray, S.J. Known throughout the Denver area for his relentless interest in vocations. Father Murray first began his work as a scholastic and coach of baseball, football, and basketball here at Regis. His uncanny shrewd- ness and moral influence led to brilliant perform- ances in baseball. In 1918, he left Regis and began his study of theology in St. Louis. Concurrently, seven of his Regis boys entered the novitiate at Florissant, Missouri — truly his boys, for it was he that cultivated their vocations. Upon being ordained in June, 1921, Father Murray returned to Regis where he has remained except for a brief transfer to Creighton University in Omaha. A member of the faculty for 33 years, Father Murray now serves as chaplain and student counselor. His ability to impress upon a student the importance of God throughout life, leaves nothing to be desired. Thus, we respectfully dedicate the 1961 Ranger to this true builder of men. 19
