Rosary College - Yearbook (River Forest, IL)

The nineteen hundred forty-six issue of the SHIELD is dedicated in affectionate salute to the Very Rev- erend Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli, O.P., pioneer priest and rennote founder of Rosary College. Father Mazzuchelli was a faithful American and a peerless Dominican priest whose consecration to the saving of souls in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin made him not only an architect of churches, but also a builder of men's minds. Just one hundred years ago this spring, Father Samuel laid the foundation of his Sinsinawa Mound College for Boys. This College was the nucleus from which Rosary College was eventually to emerge. For us, Father Samuel exemplifies the virtues of charity, zeal, piety, modesty, and patience. We join with his other admirers in saying that he was . . . in every attitude the man of God, his every relation with his fellow-men revealing the spiritual lucidity of his inner soul, his every act sending forth the fire of love that burnt so brightly within him.
