Very Reverend Monsignor Joseph P. Tuite Honors conferred on Seton Hall University faculty members often deserve more than a passing men- tion. So it is, with Msgr. Joseph P. Tuite. Twice dur- ing the past year, he received recognition, one scho- lastic and one ecclesiastical. First he was honored by Archbishop Boland for his work in education and was elevated to the position of Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of Newark. Then in November, Pope John XXIII elevated Father Tuite to the rank of Papal Chamberlin, with the title of Very Reverend Monsignor. Monsignor Tuite ' s work with the students of both Seton Hall Preparatory School and Seton Hall Uni- versity should serve as a guide to all those who as- pire to success in the field of Education. For all his outstanding work. The Galleon 1960 salutes Mon- signor Tuite. 16

Coach John Honey Russell A basketball career, which commenced in 1918, ma- jestically terminated this year when John Honey Russell bade farewell to the hoop sport. As player and coach over a span of forty-two years, eighteen at Seton Hall, Rus- sell was recognized as one of the outstanding contributors to the game ' s growth. The Hall was molded into a national power under his tutelage. During the 1938-39 season the Pirates initiated a forty-three game win streak which was perpetuated until the 1941 National Invitation Tournament. Bob Davies, All- American and noted professional star, was the spearhead of this attack. Setonia ' s coach viewed the N.l.T. elimination of six quintets before the 1952-53 contingent snared the title to cap a 31-2 record, the highlight of Honey ' s tenure. Walt Dukes and Richie Regan, All-Americans who later notched fame in the pro-circuit, set the fiery pace. Rated fifteenth among the nation ' s coaches for win- ning percentages and having notched better than three hundred college victories are two potent factors which dis- tinguish Honey Russell.

Courage and Selflessness PATERSON ON RETREAT . . . Only you can lead your life . . simple words with significant meaning. Father Lawrence Murphy of the Maryknoll Mission Fathers, expresses religion as pervading all aspects of life, not just as a Sunday supplement to life. To be a Christian is not easy. Today ' s world, es- pecially the American world , is one of anxiety, fear and apathy. Anxiety caused by a selfishness , a what ' s in it for me attitude. Fear that will not get all that want. Apathy in the I didn ' t think it was any of my business attitude— the soldier in Korea who didn ' t think it was any of his concern that ten of his fellow prisoners were put out to freeze. The at- tempt at justification of the Charles Van Dorens — you can excuse it but you can not justify it. You have a responsibility to yourself, to others and to God. Do you have the courage, the selfishness of the good Samaritan ? or do you confine your re- ligion to the mechanical recitation of prayers — are these true prayers? A really sincere prayer is very difficult. The pervading theme of this retreat was a lesson in reality, in religion to be lived— not followed. FATHER MURPHY POSES with two proud Paterson Setonians, James Feeney and Marie Scheuermann. FATHER MURPHY IMPARTS A MESSAGE of spiritual wisdom to students at the Paterson Retreat. 17
