ED Fordham’s War Mentor ANOTHER page of history was completed when Rather Joseph A. Mulry passed % to his eternal rest. Action was his bv-word while life remained within his manly form, llis commanding appearance; that musical tone of voice, and his accomplishments gained immediate favor at Kordham. During the war, as speaker for the Liberty Loans, Father Mulry’s appeals met with instant response from all sides; as our Rector, with a characteristic fatherly spirit, lie worked untiringly and solicitously for all true Fordhani sons. When Father Mulry talked on patriotism you could feel the earnestness of his words. From the cradle up. he breathed the free American air. At his birth in New York City forty-seven years ago, we might say American spirit and ideals took firm root in him. and waxed stronger as the promising youth grew to manhood. St. Francis Xavier’s claims him as Alumnus, but Fordham University can justly lay stronger claim to this great man, as its leader and father from 1915 to 1919, a man young in years, kind and noble at heart and in action, yet with a sternness which you felt ashamed to face, when right was tampered with. Father Joseph Mulry. Catholic priest. American soldier, ex-1’resident of Fordham University, devoted his whole life to his fellowmen. even to that last breath which closed his career on this earth, and ushered him into the presence of his well-deserved reward with God on the thirty-first day of August, nineteen hundred twenty-one.
