The W kite and Blue of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Four FOREWORD T IS my pleasant duty to say a word by way of preface to the first issue of The White and Blue, the Year Book of Seton Hall Col- lege, but it is difficult to select from the number of thoughts craving expression such as may best accord with the spirit which has prompted this undertaking. In the first place I feel that the Reverend Modera- tor and those who, under his direction have made great sacrifices of time and labor, should be the recipients of thankful congratulation on the work which is now presented to the students and friends of Seton Hall. Their’s has been the task of pioneers ; they had to conquer all the obstacles that heset the path of those essaying a new venture. Their purpose was to present a volume, albeit modest in size, which, while embodying the essential features found in publications of a similar stamp would be at the same time in accord with the traditions of the College. “Hazard zit forward” is the motto taken over from the shield of the illustrious family whose name was given to our Alma Mater by its revered founder, Arch- bishop Baylev, in honor of Venerable Mother Elizabeth Seton, whose name has been intimately associated with religion and education since the early years of the republic. No matter what the hazard, still forward in the cause of Christ and the higher education of youth was the principle impelling the founders of the College. The same is the watchword of those whose labors have been dedicated to the preparation of The White and Blue. That they have been so successful under apparently adverse circumstances is a source of gratification, not only to themselves, but to their superiors and colleagues in the faculty. Our thanks are due because they have served in no small way to advance the interests of this institution of learning by preparing a memorial of college activities which will serve as a beacon to coming generations by preserving in lasting form the history of the year 1923-24. In years to come this book will serve to revivify events and intensify the love which every Setonian hears to Alma Mater. It will be an incentive to live up to the religious and educational standards presented and exemplified in daily life during college years. Particularly do we appreciate the work performed by the members of the Class of 1924 upon whom has fallen the major share of efforts expended in its preparation and we take this occasion of wishing them in an especial manner, “God-speed,” praying that they may bring t o their future labors the same generous spirit and enthusiasm. This spirit and enthusiasm will assure to them not only in this life but especially hereafter, the happiness that comes from realizing success- ful accomplishment of the tasks assumed under the impelling influence of lofty motives. In conclusion, speaking not only for myself but for the other members of the faculty as well as students, we trust that The White and Blue may find a favorable reception among the friends of Seton Hall. Rt. Rev. Thomas H. McLaughlin, S. T. D., President. 7
