To whom our dedication? This is our peren- nial question, this is our search, renewed each year. Who incarnates what we stand for? Our choice is governed by the theme of our book. This yearbook expresses the memories, opinions, and convictions of our class; undergraduate laughs and heartaches, loves and aversions, joys and sorrows, bitter times and sweet are among its memories. These then influence the selection. Our book remembers a great gift we have received at Seton Hall, the vision of a constant confrontation of the old with the new in the body of Christian wisdom. In our University, science and technology are given their ultimate signifi- cance in terms of a deathless philosophy. What is new and bright in human thought is wedded to what is old and fine and everlastingly valid. The experienced hand of tradition guides the new growth, and progress is real because the young tree is rooted in the deep rich soil of a sapiential heritage. Awesome changes have be- come man’s daily portion, yet the Setonian goes forward deeply secure, for human nature, rooted in the changeless nature of God, cannot change. The law that springs eternally from God maps a path into the unknown future. To uncover this law and to follow its call is to experience in the here and now the meeting of the old with the new. Seton Hall has illumined for its students this ageless confrontation. Eugene Francis Kinkead is not a young man. He is, in fact, one of the oldest living alumni of our University. How many decades have waxed and waned since Ireland gave him birth in 1876! Many a graduating class has followed that of 1895. He had already served three terms in Congress when, as a Major in the Military In- telligence, he defended this nation in the First World War. Those who would learn of his bold achievements as Hudson County Sheriff must page through records heavy with the weight of years. Still there is much that is young and new and bright in this man. The years have not misted the clear depth of his mind. The bright warmth of his humor glows undiminished with the passage of time. Age has tempered the steel of his conviction without dulling its edge. The brave, clean flame of his love for God and coun- try still warms the hearts of all who meet him, and they become enkindled. Major Kinkead received the first Archbishop Thomas J. Walsh Award for Contributions to Humanities, awarded each year by the Seton Hall Alumni Association. We should like to honor him anew, for he represents to us, the Class of 1959, a man in whom one finds the best of the old, and the finest of the new. He is, we think, the incarnation of Alma Mater’s fondest hope, that her sons be true Christian gentlemen. To him then, with respect and affection, we dedicate the Galleon for 1959. THE MOST REVEREND THOMAS A. BOLAND presents the Annual Archbishop Thomas J. Walsh Award for outstanding work in humanities to Major Eugene Francis Kinkead. Right Reverend Monsignor McNulty represents the Seton Hall Alum- ni Association, the donors of the Award. 7
