13 !■ ' O A 1 I Z-, D a d i c h; ? i o f) 1R ordham has advanced through nearly a century of Jesuit train' ing to a foremost place in the educational and cultural life of the nation. It was made possible by great men of true vision and achievement. But there are. as there have always been, a particular few who are great in a different sense. To them the foundation of successful teaching is the establishment of a personal relation between professor and student and the binding of lifelong ties between the man and his College. One of these lew is the Rev. Theodore T. Farley, S.J., to whom the class of ’38 dedicates its own Maroon. For a decade now, Fordham men have come under his influence. And it may truly be said that once having done so they have never cast aside that influence. For through him, the students of the past and present are united in common interests and common ideals. Symbolizing, as he docs, everything the Senior Class has found best in its career at Fordham, he has made the graduate substantially readier to face the worries with courage and high hopes.

f o t e JVhe day is near to hand when I shall say Farewell to Fordham of my student years. And I have planned tor then a pilgrimage, Not to he entered on without its tears. I will he grateful for a warm June day Approaching twilight, best of summer's lot. And as 1 walk along, although my step Will he of steady pace, my heart will not. ♦ On Keating's terrace I will stand and stare Up at its mullioned windows and gray stone, And think me of the youth so sagely taught First principles ordained for men alone. Then moving westward with the dimming sun 1 11 look toward Freeman from across the Quad That houses Physics, and at right the Gym, Beloved of him who eyes a college squad. ♦ To central from east campus 1 will turn, Glimpsing the low black bulk of distant Chem, And peering up at Dealy's Freshman halls Will start the ghost of one who walked in them.
