i41 51m iom W29 .xdcluerh'derd v Over the past fifteen years Siena College has grown, and has seen, many young men and women grow with her. Since the college is now in its hfteenth, crystal anniversary year, and since her progress has been so great over that period, this book is raised in humble tribute to a job well donee-the education of Catholic leaders. Ours is a college young in years, but old in tradition. She has had a rapid building program, a charter for her graduate school, and a leading basketball team in these few years. She has a Student Government which has gained much prestige among neighbors and at home. She has a dramatics society which has been well received in New York City and Philadelphia as well as at Gibbons Hall, and she has a forensic society which competes with the best in the nation. Of these she may well be proud, and in virtue of these great advances we feel that we have been witness to a period of iiCrystallizationii of the ideal that is hers-the education of the whole man. In appreciation of. all that Siena has been and has done over the past fifteen years, we present the crystal anniversary edition of the Siena Saga. TABLE OF EUNTENTS .x4ch'uih'ed

edicatinn To the man who has made Siena what she is today, we humbly dedicate this crystal anniversary edition of the Siena Saga. To a scholar, administrator, teacher, and friend. The Very Rev. Mark Kennedy, President of Siena College, is all that could be asked for in friendly administration. His door is never closed to the students and many visit him frequently. Father Mark is a scholar in that his degrees are: B. A. and M. A. from St. Bonaventure College in 1921 and 1922 respectively. Lect. Glis. S. 8., Instituto Biblico Franciscano, Jerusalem; Collegio de San Antonio, Rome, Italy 1929. In 1949 St. Francis College gave him an honorary L. L. D. Father Mark is a scholar of the Classical Languages in which field he worked for several years translating part of the New Testament. Father Mark's message at the outset of the school year has come to be a prime necessity to every student to induce him to do his best throughout the year with the full assurance that the faculty is on his side always eager to listen when trouble arises, always eager to help him out. To you, then, Father..Mark Kennedy, we owe much respect and many thanks. Your untiring efforts on our behalf will be long remembered by all who have worked under you, and by all the students who have been under your care. TO A MAN WHO HAS DEVDTED HIS LIFE E61
