, In the life of every great institution there comes a time when it can pause and proudly look back upon its accomplishments. Seton Hall Uni- versity may now well recall her own humble beginnings nearly a hundred years ago, and regard the colorful evolution toward the great university which she is today. The GALLEON, which is the official pictorial mirror of the Class of 1951 , simultaneously takes a glance backward to yesterday, or perhaps the day before yesterday, and presents the pageant of Seton Hall, which last year attained university status. Nearly one hundred years ago, James Roosevelt Bayley, Bishop of Newark, founded in Madison, New Jersey, the college which he called Seton Hall, in honor of his saintly aunt, Mother Seton. The dream which Bishop Bayley and his successors visualized has today become reality and Seton Hall is one of America’s great universities. As the first yearbook published since university status was attained, the 1951 GALLEON salutes Seton Hall in the special HISTORIC SETONIA section, and proudly toasts a future which, by every indication, should be brilliant.

Few of Setonia’s sons are as representative of our great university as the Reverend Edward J. Fleming, Senior Class Moderator. His ever-ready as- sistance and encouragement have filled this year with bright spots at a time when the world was cursed with constant turmoil and confusion. Thoroughly steeped in Seton Hall’s traditions, being a graduate of the Prep School and the College as well as of Catholic University of America, Father Fleming is at once an inspiration and a friend to all who know him. Returning to Seton Hall last year as Professor of Religion following five years of parish duty in Summit, New Jersey, Father Fleming quickly plunged into a wide variety of activities, and soon won a far-reaching respect and admiration. To Father Fleming— for his zeal for life, his devotion to Seton Hall, his great charm and his high priestly qualities— the Class of 1951 proudly dedicates this book. Priest Friend . . .
