JHHIESF RUUHEU,S. J. ffl 5 .W We the students of Bellarmine are proud to dedicate this book, the 1950-51 CARILLON, to Father james F. Rooney, SJ. It was through his unceasing work both spiritual and material that we have many things that make Bellarmine what it is today. His main ambition was to make our school a source of good citizens of this world and the next, and this we feel he accomplished. This is our way of saying thanks to a great man.

Our campus, over a period of one hundred years, has changed. Location, buildings, administration, faculty, stu- dents. While this cannot be said to be the work of one man, Father Rooney, through his unceasing efforts to im- prove the facilities for the students at Bellarmine, certainly stands out as a symbol, a very real symbol, of those men of the past one hundred years who have built Bellarmine. When we came to our present campus, there was much to be done. Buildings renovated, adapted, constructed, grounds to be cleared. This was done by men like Father Rooney, who had consecrated their lives to the education of Catholic youth.
