DEDICATION EDMUND IGNATIUS RICE (1762 - 1844) The massive figure of the first Christian Brother stands in the habit of his Order, his cloak symbolizing the protection and security his schools provide. He holds up the Bible, which serves as a base for his schools. The footballer, backed by Edmund Rice, holds firmly to his cloak. 4

“Going therefore teach ye all nations At forty years of age, Edmund Ignatius Rice gave up a very prosperous business in Waterford, Ireland, to begin a school for the poor boys of that city. In this first school he had two other teachers and about two hundred rough- and-tumble boys. Today, 160 years later, there are 3200 Irish Christian Brothers teaching 128,000 students in more than 500 schools scattered all over the world. This year we commemorate the Bi-Centenary of the birth of Brother Rice. For this reason the 1963 Collegian is respectfully dedicated to him. College Celebrates the Bi-Centenary Two seniors admire the portrait of Br. Rice. Students join in the Bi-Centennial high mass. Msgr. T. M. Nichol pays tribute to the founder. 5
