Reverend Stephen Xtoznicki was elevated to the rank of .Xuxiliary liishop of lletroit. Hur .Xlma Mater looked upon this elevation with pride and joy, for the l3ishop's zeal for the salvation of souls and his untiriug work. which earned him recognition, was hut a reflection of her training. Bishop XYoznieki has always been a shining example of the spirit of St. Bl'ary'sJa spirit that is the predominant factor hehind all the various activities of our institution-a spirit, which never has. nor never shall depart front the souls ol its many loyal sons. 'lihe career of liishop XYozniclci has heen intimately linked with our insti- tution. Serving as Yice Chairman on the lloard of Trustees. he has aided in directing the policies of our institution. He has visited us frequently and has taken part in the various affairs at Ft.

'lihough the l3ishop's career was connected with St. llaryis. it was not limited to it. .Xs .Xuxiliary liishop of the iXrcluliocese of Detroit. this Apostle of Christ stands as the pastor of his vast flock and it is to him that his sheep look for paternal guidance. :Xt present Bishop Xtozniclqi is directing the League for Religious .Xssist- ance to l'oland. I-le helieyes that since we .Xmvricans of l'olish ancestry have received the true Faith. with its accompanying good virtues through our fore- fathers, it follows that the Church in l'olaud has fl right to looli to our as- sistance. so that her people may again have their churches and institutions of education as they did in the past. 'l'owarci this end the llishop has exerted great efforts. Thus do we proudly and respectfully pay trihute in this testimonial of the graduating class of l9-ffm to the Bishop, whose zeal and lahor have heen so powerful an inspiration in moulding us men of Christ and standard hearers of His Catholic Faith.
