All too seldom we encounter a person who through his own quiet spirit of dedication profoundly effects the lives of others. Such a person deserves our trust and receives our admiration. Such a person is Brother Thomas Donaghy. A member of the La Salle community for sixteen years, he continues to be an inspiration to the students here. A past director of the Evening Division and former history Department chairman, he brings his experience to various faculty committees. To the Sigma Beta Kappa frater- nity over which he is moderator Brother T is a friend and wise confidant. To those of us in the dormatories he is a reflective listener, who ' s door is always open. Brother Donaghy ' s concern is coupled with a down to earth manner, a disarming humor and at times a piercing seriousness. As an instructor he uses his insight to help us find our own. He embodies the axem; A historian, therefore, in all that he relates, should take care to be guided in his judgement by the genuine and real circumstances of every action, without reference to those who may have been engaged in it. (Polybuis) The author of five books he is an active contributor to his own discipline. One, Conceived in Crisis is the history of our own institution. Therefore to a teacher, scholar and a friend, we the staff of the 1977 Explorer dedicate this publication to Thomas Donaghy F.S.C.
