Q 117 , l 9 ip :ip Wm? ,,i 'M x ,ay- dns His Excellency, Archbishop Thomas E. Molloy, S. T. D During his Excellency's thirty-four years as Bishop of Brooklyn, Archbishop Molloy has always shown a gracious interest in the educational needs of the diocese. As a foremost Catholic educator, he has eagerly fostered the growth and expansion of our vast school system. ln keeping with the trend of modern times, the Archbishop realizes the need for well-trained and alert Catholic students to defend the faith, and carry it to even greater heights of success. The expansion program now under way here at St. jloseph's is a definite step in the direction of a better world through Catholic education and toward the fulfillment of his Excellency's hopes. '
