Corrigan succeeded his brother, Archbishop Corrigan, as fourth Presi- dent upon the latter’s resignation. Cor- rigan organized the Alumni Association, and celebrated the college’s Silver Jubi- lee Year in 1881. The newly-organized alumni group constructed Alumni Hall in 1884.

The pro- gramme arranged for the afternoon is a long and exceedingly interesting one, embracing singing, recitations, speech-making and awarding of prizes.” m m ■ 1S The Mother Seton window, Adminis- tration Building, Seton Hall University, is one of the oldest known likenesses of the Saindy Elizabeth Bayley Seton.
