FOREWORD The Class of 1948 really began in September, 1945. n It was at that time that Monsignor James F. Kelley made the unprecedented announcement that Setori Hall College would open its doors to all qualifying veterans. When the buildings began to bulge at the seams, new ones were erected. Thus, it was our destiny to matriculate at Seton Hall during the period of its greatest expansion. It was our desire to grow along with our Alma Mater. Whether we have attained that propensity will be determined by our progress in the coming years. As graduates of a Catholic college we shall be called upon to defend our Christian principles with clearness % and determination. As young men of higher education we shall be expected to seek our vocations in the arts, professions, and business fields. The product of an accelerated educational program we shall have to make our way in an accelerated world. We shall be the criterion by which this type of education is judged. Social barriers have been hurdled; the voice of tradition has been drowned in the cacophony o crowded classrooms. This is education for the commo man! No school ties here — here no hyphenated surname — this is education for the masses! Does it work? Class of 1948 says it does. Posterity will watch us closely. We shall measure up

We, the class of nineteen hundred and forty-eight, do respectfully dedicate the 1948 GAL- LEON to Rev. William F. Furlong, Vice-President of Seton Hall College — a man who has been recognized and admired by the faculty, student body, and all who know .him, for his devo- tion and love of God and obedience to His will, for his example of Christian virtue and humility, as well as for his priestly manner and gentlemanly attitude. Father Furlong considers the call to the priesthood his greatest honor and most precious gift. An alumnus of Seton Hall College and Darlington Seminary, he was ordained in 1932. Given the opportunity to further his education by His Excellency Archbishop Thomas J. Walsh, Father Furlong ' s quest for learning was fulfilled at Columbia University where he received the degree of Master of Arts. Upon the completion of his studies he became a member of the College ' s English Department. Following his duties as a professor, Father Furlong was elevated to the responsible administrative position of Dean of Studies in 1945. In this capacity he guided, counseled and advised with endless patience and understanding the thousands of veterans who applied for enrollment. His efforts were rewarded the following year when he was appointed to the office of Vice-President by Msgr. James F. Kelley. It was through these undertakings and the conscientious fulfillment of his obligations that he wen the esteem and confidence of the entire student body. To Father Furlong, for his endeavours, for his friendship, and for his guidance, we express our sincere thanks. k V Co 1 s J 5
