THE MOST REV. THOMAS A. BOLAND, D.D., LL.D Archbishop of Newark

3 J ore won At the edge of our campus here at Seton Hall, stands a house. How many Setonians do you sup- pose have passed that house in the past twenty- five years? How many of them would you say owed a great debt to the man who lived in that house through those years? I am confident that you will agree that the answer to the first ques- tion is thousands , and to the second, every one of them The man, Archbishop Thomas Joseph Walsh, no longer lives there, as we all know; but we also know that he is still with us, helping us, praying for us. In the past, we have seen that Setonia was something special to him. To a leader responsible for the spiritual welfare of a million Catholics, Seton Hall was the favorite child. And, under his guidance and protection, the College, like a child, grew strong and healthy into ado- lescence and finally into the manhood of the University. Without the aid of Archbishop Walsh, this institution, like a child without a parent, could possibly have grown up weak and vulnerable, had it grown at all It is because of him that Setonia has become an honored word to people everywhere. To us, Setonia is a word with a very personal mean- ing. It is not a place, not a name; no, it is more of an attitude, a disposition that has become part of our lives — no it reaches deeper yet, until at last we see that it is our life. This is, perhaps, the greatest part of the debt; but it is the one part that can be at least in some way repaid — by cherish- ing it. It is to the man who made Setonia what it is today and, God willing, will be tomorrow — to the friend and guide who lived in that house at the edge of the campus, that this book is grate- fully dedicated.
