'Dedication XVe dedicate this TOWER to the Most Reverend Matthew F. Brady, D.D., so that he may keep us in his memory even though he makes many new friends in his new work. For in the four years that we, as high school students, have known him we have grown to love him and we take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude for the interest he showed in us. May we express our feeling for him as he, himself expressed it- Only a river separates us geographically and yet it unites us, for its waters drain the mountains and valleys of both, even as sorrow and hope drain the emotions of these servants of both. 0 V f

Six ears of ,Service The Most Reverend Matthew Francis Brady, was the fourth Bishop to govern this diocese. Pastor of Saint Rita's Parish. Hampden, Connecticut, when appointed by Pius XI, to be Bishop of Burlington, October 26, 1938, by his Excellency, Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, Titular Archbishop of Laodicea, Apostolic Delegate to the United States of America. For the past six years his dynamic leadership has energized Catholicity here in our State. By his zeal in organizing our youth and other groups of laity, he has given unity and direction to the forces of Catholicism. He expanded the Vermont Catholic Charities organization to care for the poor and the unfortunate: established a Diocesan School Oflice for the purpose of co-ordina- ting and consolidating Catholic education: and he was fearlessly outspoken in defending the cause of the working man. If any one of his labors were to be selected as outstanding. it would be his success in bringing the Church to the country people, especially by the many parishes and missions he estab- lished by his support of the program of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. His many accomplishments were facts familiar to all Vermonters. -g-
