DEDICATIGN Upon hearing the news that Pope John XXIII had appointed Bishop William E. Cousins of Peoria, Ill. to be the new Archbishop of Milwaukee, the Very Rev. Edward J. O'Donnell. S.J., speaking for the student body said, Marquette University joins with the Mil- waukee archdiocese at the glad Christmas season in rejoicing over the appointment of his excellency, William Edward Cousins. as our new archbishop, and in offering our sentiments of congratulations and welcomef, Archbishop Cousins was born in Chicago on August 20, 1902. After being graduated from Saint Mary of the Lake Seminary, Mun- delein, Ill., he was ordained by the late George Cardinal Mundelein on April 23, 1927. In 1934 Father Cousins served as Superior of the Chicago Archdiocesan Mission Band and then as pastor of St. Columbanus Church in Chicago until December 17. 1948 when he became Titular Bishop of Forma and Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago. These facts permit only a small insight into the character of the man of whom the people of Peoria said, Thousands of people in the Diocese-perhaps most of the people-feel that they know their Bishop personally. His tireless visits with the parish crowds after each Confirmation and his geniality have made this appointment inevitable. His priests, too, have felt in him a warm and sincere interest in their work and their problems. The man who left Peoria to take the position of Archbishop of Milwaukee is the person whose backing put through a 14 million dollar school bond issue-a proposal that had failed the previous year when he refused to support it because its hnancial planning was insecure. He is the same man under whose direction a two million dollar home for the aged, six new grade schools and eight new churches were built and live new parishes were established. It is zealous Catholic action like this we wish to imitate both now and when the time comes for us to leave the protective shadow of Gesu. We can take as our guiding standard the episcopal motto which stands on the Archbishop's crest, Auxilium Meum a Domino tMy help is from the Lordj. Words of Archbishop Cousins at appointment show how he applies it in his life, I have understandable misgivings as I look at the accomplishments of those who have gone before me. But my modest talents, directed by Gods grace, are at His disposal. Because of his outstanding Catholic leadership, we respectfully dedicate the 1959 Hilltop to Archbishop William E. Cousins in the hope that our own modest talents. so divinely directed, will also be pleasing to God.
