11 illirmnriam ,W DR. EDWARD L. JENNINGS Dear God: Perhaps, dear Lord, You may think us rather presumptuous in writing to You in this manner, but we feel that once You know the reason for this letter, You'll un- derstand. Thirty-five years ago You sent to Seton Hall a gift in the person of Doctor Edward L. Jennings. Of course he was just plain Mr. Jennings then, for he had only fairly embarked upon the career in which he was destined to become so outstanding. For thirty-five long, fruitful years this grand scholar imparted his classical knowledge and skill to the passing parade of Setonian students. Then as Seton Hall grew in scope and stature so grew Mr. Jennings. With the steady march of time, his increasing repu- tation and prestige stamped him as a man who left an indelible impression upon every boy who passed through his com- petent hands. Such renown, as You well know, dear God, is not garnered by mere chance. It is the product of perhaps one character among thousands, who by a mas- tery of his subject and a true understanding of the nature and complexities of youth, rises to the position of a well nigh perfect teacher. But, dear Lord, Mr. Jennings was more to us than merely a fine teacher, for that alone would not cause the deep reverence and respect for the man which is to be found in the hearts of all who were asso- ciated with him. More important was the fact that in Dr. Jennings we found a living symbol of Seton Hall, its heritage and tra- dition. We looked with a kind of awe upon the man who had been so intimately con- nected with our Alma Mater as to become practically synonymous with it. To think that in these very classrooms many of our fathers and professors had been pupils of a man who was now our teacher! Here was tradition personified. ln fact, dear God, in so far as we were concerned, Dr. Jennings was Seton Hall. Perhaps by now You are beginning to realize the sognificance of our rather inade- quate message to You. When just a short time ago, You saw fit to take our Mr. Chips, You took not only a man, but also a segment of Setonian tradition which will be impossible to replace adequately. .lust as We turned out bodily, twelve hundred strong, to witness the final earthly rites of Dr. Jennings, so we now turn out spiritually to You to intercede for his immortal soul. We want You to know that if ever there was a man from our campus worthy of a just reward for fidelity to work and life, that man was Dr. Jennings. Therefore, we send to You this petition that Dr. Jennings may receive the eternal reward that he so well deserves. We would all be very grateful to You, dear God, if You would give Dr. Jennings this little message from us: We all miss you a lot, Dr. Jennings. Yet we are happy in the knowledge that our material loss is your eternal gain. Keep a watchful eye on us, won't you, just as you did before. Good- bye, Mr. Chips, and God bless you.
