7' l WTWFURDHAM CUl.l.F.GF. 3 BACKWARD . . . upon the years of war and peace that constitute so much of the history of the Class of '47, there is no one date where one can say, Here-we began. For we have many beginnings-like tributaries of a river, we come just before we enter the sea. The lives of the men of '47 and the life of Fordham, too, have been caught up in the conflict . . . the tangled web of circumstance is now unravelled. Nine years of Fordham's life are here encompassedg we number among our classmates men who first saw Rose Hill in the fall of 1938. Year by year until the fall of 1944, the men of '47 have gathered at Fordham, many only to leave and then return again. Think back to the fall of 1941, when to all but a few of us, the war was still but a hazy cloud on a distant horizon, Fordham had just closed the book on its first hundred years.

members of a Freshman class of unprecedented size. But even then, men of '47 were on the campus, upperclassmen farther away from graduation than they thought. For many of us, life at Fordham lay in the future-the tribulations of a freshman would remain un- known until the fall of 1944. That September of 1941, as the campus paths felt again the familiar tread of undergrad- uates returning from lazy, peaceful vacations, the future was bright. Impressive ceremonies had concluded the summer-long centenary celebration, Fordham had taken the salute of the nation's leaders. Headed by Vice-Presi- dent Wallace, speakers from the political, re- ligious and educational worlds extolled one hundred years of Jesuit accomplishment at Rose Hill. We seemed on the threshold of a golden age. In the year that opened in that fateful fall, Fordham's achievements ranged from a na- tionally renowned football team to a world- acclaimed Greek play. Classical leaders hailed the production of Aeschylus' Eumenides, in the original Greek, as the greatest classi- cal achievement of any American college in the last twenty-five years. While preparations were yet under way for the play, maroon-clad players stormed the heights of gridiron fame in a season that culminated in a Sugar Bowl victory.
