FOREWORD I N the 1939 spirit of the future, Manhattanville too, looks at the world of tomorrow, and builds her towers high. Founded on faith and loyalty, the Copper Tower gleams in the sunlight of today and points to a shining tomorrow. Not isolated, our towers are deeply- rooted in the past, and strong in the present. It is the future toward which they are straining, a future of progress — not in the circle of the Perisphere hut in the circle of truth, not in the great simplicity of the Trylon, but in the grandeur of knowledge. I his hook, inspired by loyalty to the memory of Patrick Cardinal Hayes, attempts not to recount, but to foreshadow. In the reaching and soaring of our towers, we too desire to reach and to soar, not in power and glory, hut in gentleness and charity.
