“

At Georgetown and Mary- land, John McElroy began his lifelong effort of building American Catholicism. Here he spent years as a Lay Brother and Priest, influenc- ing the first outposts of Jesuit teaching.

“

In 1846, he served as Chaplain with Taylor ' s troops in Mexico. Despite his short service, he was an inspiration to hundreds and was returned only for safety when his Jesuit companion was murdered. Transferred to Boston, he struggled for years to defeat the bigotry and expense which prevented a Boston Catholic college. Against a Yankee Boston, he succeeded and our gates were opened on Har- rison Avenue in 1864. With words and pictures we have tried to capture the cour- age and spirit of John McElroy, who has been duly described by historians as the human agent chiefly instrumental in th e founding of Boston ' s Jesuit College. Even in his seven- ties he labored against the debt and difficulties of the early Boston College. A soldier, he combated doubt, debt and des- pair yet always emerged with a winning hand and the neces- sary funds. There is no need to wonder over the success of the college today, for even from its beginnings it has carried the heritage of endurance and strength, left forever by an Irish priest.
