IN THE FALL OF 1959, OUR CLASS ENTERED FAIR- FIELD UNIVERSITY. PERHAPS WE COULD BE COM- PARED TO FLEDGELINGS, IN THE SENSE THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST OCCASION FOR MOST OF US TO MAKE USE OF OUR WINGS OF INDEPENDENCE. HOWEVER, UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF OUR TEACH- ERS, WE SOON REALIZED THE SOUNDNESS OF A STATEMENT MADE BY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN. ALL THINGS HAVE THEIR SEASON, AND WITH YOUNG MEN YOU MUST CURB THEIR FANCY TO STRENGTH- EN THEIR JUDGEMENT. NOW WE APPROACH THE COMPLETION OF OUR COLLEGE CAREERS. WE WISH TO SINGLE OUT ONE MAN WHO HAS BEEN INFLUENTIAL BOTH IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AND IN THAT OF THE UNIVERSITY ITSELF. THIS DEDICATED PRIEST HAS WITNESSED THE INTELLECTUAL AND PHYSICAL GROWTH OF FAIRFIELD. HE HAS WATCHED ITS EXPANSION FROM THE EMBRYONIC STAGES TO ITS HIGH CALI- BER OF TODAY. BEING MINDFUL OF THIS, WE, THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE, TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DEDICATE OUR YEAR- BOOK TO ONE OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY .... 10
