“But above all things, have Charity, which is the bund of perfection 1 ' Ihe SfUsut Chastity ■ RICHARD D. FARRELL P ERHAPS in every Student ' s life there is one teacher who stands out above all tm rest; one man who has had a vita! part in influencing that student ' s life; helped to mould that character and to be, in part, responsible for some of the ideas and principles he holds to-day. Father Donnelly played that part for many years at Assumption Coll ege. Countless is the number of students who went to him for advice and countless are those who still retain the concrete ami oftentimes dynamic pronouncements of Father Donnelly. How many have benefited by his thundering discourses in the chapel nnd in the classroom! Father Donnelly, we are told (and we should know without being told) never was known to utter an unkind word about anyone or anything. He knew the true meaning of charity; he knew the frailties of human nature and most important—he know and thoroughly understood hoys. Charity is a virtue that is comparatively rare in the world in which we live. Perhaps that is why we were attracted to thh holy man with his kindly smile and benignant manner. Impatience was decidedly lacking in Father Don¬ nelly ami no matter how busy he was he always bad time to talk with a student and the interview almost always ended with a pat on the shoulder or a tap on the chin. tn the classroom and lecture hall, Father Donnelly drilled every lesson thoroughly and no new work was taken until there was no doubt in his mind that each and every pupil understood every phase of a particular lesson. Arts students of recent y ars re¬ member Father Donnelly for his classes in Psychology and Logie, He asked every day for years what the definition of Logic was and every class began with the same words: “Well now. Jack, Bob, or Gene, or Dick, do you know what Logic is? He be¬ longed to the old school of education and was a strong adherent to the “drill and mem¬ orize system. Followers of the Adlerian and Hutch mian concepts of education most p ' oiably scoff indignantly at this method of teaching but from the students ' point of view it will fie found that any subject studied under Father Donnelly was learned and well learned. He taught us in a simple manner the correct and logical way to gu about our lessons. He taught us to concentrate upon a piece of work and to derive knowledge from it. i PA GK TH ENT Y TXVft

■ In 1920 ■ In 1940 FV4THER Donnelly was born m New York City in 1871. He was the son of Edward I Donnely and Mary McKenna Donnely, His parents met in New York and were married at St. Francis Xavier Church here. Father Donnelly was baptized there as were his two sisters and four brothers. His mother and father both were dead when he reached the age of six. At that time their newly appointed guardian sent them to I oronto. f Canada, to be reared and educated. The motherless family was cared for in Toronto by a friend of the guardian until the members were old enough to attend school. Two older sisters, however, went to Loretto Abbey Convent. Father Donnelly eventually attended Be La Salle Academy and from there went to St. Michael ' s College. He graduated from that college and then studied for the priesthood in the Congregation of St, Basil. After ordination he taught at St. Michael’s and from there he was sent to the various Basilian schools in Texas—Waco, La Forte, San Antonio and Galveston. Later he founded the present St. Thomas College in Houston, which to-day is one of the fittest and most modernly equipped of all the Basilian Colleges. When he finished his superiorship here he was transferred to Sainte Anne de Detroit. In 1932 Father Donnelly tame to Windsor to Join the Philosophy Department of Assumption College. Last September, when he was returning to Windsor after a visit with his family in New York, he was stricken on the train en route. After sixteen days of illness he passed away in New York City on October 1. A devout priest, a thorough teacher, a time friend was Father Donnelly, May we always remember his sound principles and may we try to emulate his ever glowing spirit of Christian charity. ■ Ordination Mis Sister, Mother, Himself at 6 Years PACK TWKNT Y-THRKE
