Boston College - Sub Turri Yearbook (Boston, MA)

X STAFF MEMBER OF THE YEAR There is on the Boston College Campus a group of people who have never been formally- acknowledged for their devotion and service to the University. These are the various secre- taries and assistants, who by their selfless support have contributed greatly to our so- journ at the Heights. Through the years, Mrs. Helen Fitzgerald has stood out as the embodi- ment of this sacrifice and loyalty. Her patience , kindness, and tireless efforts in assisting the students through their everyday problems are deserving of lasting rec ognition and praise. It is with a deep sense of gratitude that the 1962 SUB TURRI acclaims Mrs. Helen Fitzgerald, secretary to Dean of Men, College of Arts and Sciences, as Staff Member of The Year.

The progress made by the University is due in no small part to the efforts of men like Father Martin Harney, •whose career epitomizes the realization of an ideal through a complete devotion to what he believes is right. Here is a man who has seen what can be wrought from a common effort. When Father Harney first came to Boston College as a student in 1915, the University was synonymous with Gasson Hall. He brought with him a love of history and a devotion to God. When he returned to teach as a newly ordained priest in 1930, they were as much a part of him as they are now. Since 1930 Father Harney has delivered more than six hundred historical lec- tures throughout the world, ■written innumer- able books and articles, and held key positions in such organizations as the American Jesuit Historical Conference, and others. It has been estimated that since 1941 Father Harney has taught more than twenty thousand seniors in the College of Business Administration. Father Harney and Boston College have come a long way together since 1915 and we have been the beneficiaries of their progress. We wish to acknowledge a debt to him by paying tribute to a man whose devotion and humility are only outweighed by the sincere interest that has marked his every contact with us. Thus, we dedicate the 1962 SUB TURRI to Rev. Martin P. Harney, S. J. , Professor of History. mMffMllKiSXil
