Francis Milroy, M.M., now an alumnus of the college. Qther significant occasions in the course of the past year, besides the regu- lar meetings of the group, were the An- nual Mass and Communion Breakfast held in the College on Sunday, March 18, the spring Bridge party, held on May 4 at the Hotel McAlpin and the Wiliter Bridge party, held in the Cardinal Hayes Library on December 29. In its brief existence the Ladies Aux- iliary has contributed more than forty thousand dollars towards the building of the Cardinal Hayes Library, which in it- self is a tremendous and admirable under- taking. To repay in some way the Ladies Auxiliary would be little as compared to the great good done by this association of mothers and wives Manhattan men can only thank the Ladies Auxiliary from the bottom of their hearts for the ac- complishments of the organization to- wards the betterment of our Alma Mater.

Fox, in l938, the organization known as the Friends of the Cardinal Hayes Library has known eight years of com- mendable service. When the new building was opened in that year, the library col- lection numbered some thirty-live thou- sand volumes. With time, regular appro- priations and the increases that have come from the Friends of the Library, Manhattan College boasts of a collection today in excess of ninety thousands of volumes. Witliotit too formal an organi- zation, the group has been responsible, through advice where it was Welcome, in directing large collections to the shelves of the Library. The Ellis Collection, the Barrett Collection, the financial collection from the office of the Commercial and Financial Chronicle, are but a few of the thousands of books added through the good offices of the Friends of the Library. In 1945, through the efforts of Brother Albert Paul, Curator of Rare Books, a collection of the works of St. Thomas More was started. Helped by a most generous donation from the Catholic Lawyers Guild of New York, who pre- sented their gift at the meeting of the Friends in May, 1945, an excellent start for this commendable collection has been made. Each year at Commencement the list of significant donations made through the year is read as part of the program. Societies in the school have been constant and generous. Names of singular friends appear each year in the list of those who remembered the College and the Library in the past year. Members of the alumni and of the student body are constant each year in their membership and in their interest.
