Council To Investigate K. of x.;
Progress tNoted At Last Meeting
At the final meeting of the Student Council on
May 15, the members were presented with a financial
report of the recent Father-Son night, sponsored by the
Knights of Xavier. This report started a chain reaction
which ended in the appoi.ntment of a committee com­posed
of John McNamarra, president of the Council; Mr.
Bateson, Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Heagney. 'Dhis com­mittee,
in conjunction with Father Ma'cDonneU and
Father James Walsh, wiH meet with the Dean to discuss
the future activities of the Knights of Xavier.
The Council had previously
requested the financial report
after a loan of $50.00 had been
obtained from the Council to
cover the expenses of the
Father-Son night. After many
requests, the report was finally
presented to the Council Tues­day
evening. The difficulty arose
when it was noted that although
the report had been signed by
the "K.X." treasurer, Frank Or­lowski,
it was not entirely com­plete.
The Council had difficulty
in determining how the deficit
figure had been arrived at, and
decided that more information
was needed.
It was also pointed out that
great difficulty had been ex­perienced
in getting the financial
report from Mr. Costello, and
that there was a decided lack of
cooperation on the part of Mr.
Rossomando. Concern was ex­pressed
regarding the future of
the club which, according to
information available to the
Council, was not planning to
hold elections before the end of
the current school year. The
committee was then appointed
to discuss the past and future
activities of this club.
At this final meeting, Fa-ther
MacDonnell pointed out that in
the past four years, the Council
had "experienced g row i n g
pains," but that it had made
progress. He thanked all those
members who had given gener-'
ously of their time and service
for the Council and the school.
Frank Discala expressed appre­ciation
to Father MacDonnell
for the cooperation which he
had extended to the Council,
and Mr. Heckler and Mr. Walsh
joined the Council in expressing
thanks, the former to John Mac­Namarra
for his work as Presi­dent,
and the latter to the Sen­iors
who will graduate next
month.
His Excellency, The Most
Reverend John J. McEleney,
S.J., D.D., Vicar Apostolic of
Jamaica, B.W.I., and the first
Rector of Fairfield University,
is to be the presiding official at
the Baccalaureate Sermon on
Sunday, June 10, and arrange­ments
are being completed to
have him remain with us for the
Commencement E x e r cis e s .
Other officials of the clergy to
be present at the graduation
include: His Excellency, The
Most Reverend Hen r y J.
O'Brien, D.D" Bishop of Hart­ford;
The Very Reverend Wil­liam
E. FitzGerald, S.J. Pro­vincial,
New England Province
of the Society of Jesus; The
Very Reverend James H. Dolan,
S.J., President of the Univers­ity;
Reverend Laurence C.
Langguth, S.J., Dean of the Col­lege
of Arts and Sciences; and
Reverend Edmond D. Walsh,
S.J., Assistant Dean.
Upon arrival at Alumni Field,
the exercises will begin with
the address of John M. Heckler,
Class Salutatorian. The confer­ring
of degrees by His Excel­lency,
Mr. John Davis Lodge,
Governor of the State of Con­necticut
will be next on the pro­gram.
At this time there will
also be the presentation of
Honorary Degrees. The number
of these degrees and the recipi­ents
will not be disclosed to the
public until the presentation is
to take place. The Valedictorian
Address by class president, Wil­liam
T. Heagney will then be
given.

Father said the two goals of

is of first concern, but it has
been realized that religion alone
is not enough for man's sur­vival;

Treasurer-Ronald Homza
On Thursday. May 18. the
following men were elected
to the Student Council, for
the year 1951-52. The Class of
1952 elected Robert Conroy.
James Long. John Mahaney.
Harold Mullen. John O'Con­nor,
Frederick Roback. and
Robert Walsh. The Class of
1953 elected Edward Bateson.
Richard Bepko. Thomas Bep­ko.
Timothy Cronin. and
"Dutch" Macchia.
The election of councilors
for the Class of 1954 was
suspended due to the small
number of men who turned
out to vote. and that election
will be postponed until the
fall. Approximately 67% of
the juniors voted. while about
70% of the sophomores cast
ballots.
What a loss will be suffered
by this school on June 12, 1951,
for on that day the first class of
Fairfield University will be
graduated: Now graduation is
not an unusual occurence and
there will be many more classes
graduated from this school. But
never has or will any college
lose in one such act so many
brilliant, sua v e , competent,
clever, sophisticated, profound
and interesting young men. I
drop a tear, then, for the admin­istration
and faculty of Fairfield
and I sympathize with them in
their loss-how dull and routine
it will be here when we are
gone. ,
I have surveyed the under­classes
and found them quite
lack-luster in comparison.
There are several individuals
who might measure up to the
quality of this first class, but
taking the underclassmen in
general, they are just ordinary
intelligent and competent stu­dents.
There is no outstanding
class among them and how could
there be, for how often are lofty
Olympus' heights reached?
To the outsider or to one who
doesn't really understand us,
the statements I have made
might seem to want modesty,
but to those who know, these
things are true and these state­ments
but simple fact. The 200
and more members of this first
class make such a brilliant as­semblage
and not only individ­ually
but as a group have that
je ne sais quoi that marks a true
leader among men, that I can
well undestand the reluctance of
certain instructors to let us
leave and their little attempts
to cajole us into staying. It must
indeed be bitter to see such
excellence, to see such perfec­tion
depart.
But Fairfield's loss is the
world's gain. This, at least,
should provide some measure of
consolation to our instructors as
they see us leave to take up our
destined position as leaders in
whatever field we enter, that
some day the whole universe
will look toward Fairfield Uni­versity
and all the peoples of
the world will whisper in awe:
"It was from that school that
THEY were graduated!"
Page 2 .
With this, the final issue of THE STAG fior this
year, we of the staff bring to a close another phase of
our youthful enterprise ... that of representing Fair­field
University and its students. In a similar, but
much more important way, you of the Senior Class are
soon to close one phase of your lives and embark im­mediately
upon a more challenging one. As members
of the first graduating class of Fairfield University, your
trials will be many. Your perseverance wiJ.l be tested,
perhaps your patience sapped to near exhaustion, but
eventually you will endure and survive the trials of
time, and emerge successful.
Most of you men entered Fairfield, nat as eager,
bewildered, perhaps frightened boys just recently
graduated from high school, but as mature men who
had in the majority of cases met, accepted, and survived
the numer,ous challenges of military life. You were
world-wise from your experiences, eager to obtain an
education for its own worth, and serious in your intent.
You were eX'actly what Fairfield needed for its first
class ... men, not boys. You were, and are, the nucleus
of a new-born institution destined to grow to fame, and
a better nucleus could not have been found elsewhere.
Your seriousness and interest will serve as ex­amples
for the underclassmen you leave behind. Mem­bers
of your class founded such institutions as the year­book,
this paper, the Glee Club, and many others, and
taught us of the under classes how to benefit from your
experiences and carry on the traditions you had estab­lished.
It was through your efforts that the school
spirit at F'airfield was born, and through them it de­veloped.
You were what the university needed during
its first days and uncertain years. If you were needed
then, however, you will be needed ten times over in the
future.
When you graduate, it is not as though you leave a
house, close the door, and never return. What you have
learned here you will carry with you always. Wherever
you go, you will reflect the teachings and spirit of Fair­field,
and it is in this display of its teachings that this
university will need you and depend upon you in the
future ..
As members of the first graduating class of a new,
relatively unknown institution, you will not be accepted
readily in the "oold world" beyond the campus. You
may be scoffed at as an unknown, perhaps derided, but
never defeated. In this task, as in that of instilling a
tradition where there was none, you will be, as you
have been, successful.
Therefore, as you of the "Pioneer Class" enter a
world of secularism, faithlessness, and turmoil where
your ideals learned at Fairfield may be questioned or
even refuted, you will be confronted with the tre­mendous
task of "making a name" for yourself. You
have no diploma from a so-called famous and thus
readily accepted institution, and thus you must make
the name of Fairfield as prominent and as respected as
any other university. It is in this that we of the under
dasses depend upon you so much. We will benefit by
your successes, or suffer from your failures. We will
profit by the name you make in society for yourself and
your alma mater. Our task of securing emp10yment
will be simplified through the hardships you are about
to endure, but out of whioh I am certain you will emerge
:,U'ccessful.
It is a tremendous task that will confront you from
the day you leave this campus. You will accept the
challenge of the world in this trial, however, as you
accepted and mastered the trials of the first clCl'sS in a
new-born institution. You haVie shown your worth on
this campus ... now you will shaw your worth in the
world.
Now, as Editor of THE STAG, I c10se this year of
publication by wishing you, on behalf of the entire
student body and A.dministmtian of Fairfield Univer­sity,
every success in your future endeavors. It has
been a pleasure working with you and fallowing your
examples. Good luck, and may God bless you.

tickets and anyone, especially
undergraduates, are invited to
attend.
In the event that rain forces
cancellation of the outdoor Com­mencement
Exercises, the pro­gram
will take place as sched­uled,

arrangement is necessitated, due
to the capacity limitations of
the Klein, admission will be by
ticket only.

Class of '52 Plans
Mid-Summer Dance
Tentative plans for a summer
dance are being drawn up for
a "Summer Swing" by the newly
elected officers of the Class of
1952.
President Joe McEneany said
that the class will be asked to
fill a form which is being pre­pared.
The date, the place and
dress will be determined in this
manner. This will require full
cooperation and the class should
assist their officers by coopera­tion.
To date no committee has been
formed. Final plans will be sent
by mail to class members.
An address to the graduates
will then be given by the prin­ciple
speaker, The Honorable J.
Howard McCrath, Attorney
General of the United States.
Mr. McGrath received his Ph.B.
from Providence College and his
LL.B. from Boston University.
Among the many honorary de­grees
he holds are an LL.D. from
Providence College and an LL.D.
from Manhattan College. He
became a member of the Rhode
Island Bar in 1929 and was
United States District Attorney
in that state from 1935-1940. He
was elected Governor of Rhode
Island in 1940, and remained in
that office until he resigned in
1945 to become U.S. Solicitor
General. In 1946 he was elected
to the United States Senate and
in 1947 he became Chairman of
the Democratic National Com­mittee.
He was appointed to his

Prize Debate Staged;
ElectionsHeldMay 17
On Thursday morning, May 10,
the Debating Club of Fair­field
University sponsored a
prize debate between their Jun­ior
and Senior members. The
state of the question was:
"Should the Non-Communist Na­tions
of the world join to form
a new international organiza­tion?"
The affirmative team, consist­ing
of Seniors Les Brimmer and
Ed Wall, was opposed by Jun­iors,
Stephen Sedensky and Glen
Hawman, upholding the nega­tive.
Frank Di Scala, chairman,

"The veto power possessed by
the U.S.S.R. renders the U.N.
inadequate to cope with the
problems for which it was or­ganized,"
said Ed Wall, "While
the Security Council may
refer matters to the general as­sembly,"
he continued "the lat­ter
has no power, under the
charter, of execution; thus the
Acheson Plan is inadequate."
According to Les Brimmer an
economic, idealogical and mili­tary
alliance among all the na­tions
is necessary.
In direct opposition to Ed Wall
was Glen Hawman, who sup­ported
the Acheson Plan. He
also claimed that the inefficiency
of the U.N. is due to its being
in an early stage. That is, it
should be given more time to
prove itself.
Sedensky stated that the ma­jority
of the nations have no
will to unite; therefore, a new
world organization would be im­possible.
Following a twenty minute
rebutal period, the panel of
judges, consisting of the Very
Reverend James H. Dolan, S.J.,

To the Editor:
Once again, through the me­dium
of this column, I want to
thank the staff of the STAG for
their wonderful support of the
Glee Club during the past year.
And at the same time I would
avail myself of the opportunity
of expressing our gratitude to
the undergraduate clubs - the
Valley Club, the Waterbury
Club, the Triangle Club, the
New Haven Club, and the Hart­ford
Club - for their generous
sponsorship of our organization
this year. Through the untiring
efforts of the members of these
fine clubs every concert was a
definite success. We can only
say that it gives us a warm
feeling of pleasure to think that
we are assisting these clubs in
providing some fortunate young
man with the means of obtain­ing
a Jesuit education.
To every student in Fairfield
University also, let me express
our most sincere thanks. Like
any student activity, athletic or
otherwise, the Glee Club could
never function properly or spir­itedly
without the wholehearted
support of the student body. You
have all be most kind.
Once again, thank you.
Sincerely,
JOHN J. WALSH, Secretary
Fairfield U. Glee Club
Class of '51-
To you, as members of Fairfield
University's pioneer graduating class,
I wish to extend my sincere congratu­lations.
Without doubt the feeling of
pride is deeply imbedded within each
individual, not only because he is a
member of the first group honored
in graduating from this institution,
but realizing the sound training he
has obtained, he feels he is amply
fortified In wordly and religious
background to go out and meet the
challenges of the world. I am sure
that future years will prove, beyond
a doubt, that the class of '51 will
. truly be an outstanding group and
bring credit to your school and its
faculty.
I only wish it were possible for
me to be present at this joyous occa­sion,
not only to personally congrat­ulate
each of you, but share in your
feelings of pride and honor. I must
admit, it has always been one of my
deepest wishes to have the honor of
graduating 'from Fairfiidd, and I still,
wholeheartedly, hope and pray that
this wish will some day be fulfilled.
At the present time, I am stationed
in Camp Drake, Japan, waiting ship­ment
to Korea.
I will be thinking of you all at
graduation time.
Best of luck and happiness and
may God bless all of you.
Sincerely,
EDMUND F. DAILEY

remarkable job was done by
Coach Joe Yabrosky. His charges
were hampered at the outset by
bad weather, and the team fail­ed
to hits its peak 'til mid-sea­son.
They won seven and lost
five, with five of the ·triumphs
coming in the last six encount­ers.
The track team, with Perrault
coaching, got off to a flying start,
winning four straight, but wound
up the campaign by dropping
the last three. Many injuries
hampered the team, especially
in the final two meets.
Golf, like baseball, another in­novation
this year, enjoyed a
good but short season, winning
two and losing one.
All in all, sports at Fairfield
enjoyed a very successful year.
In addition to the varsity com­petition,

intramural golf. Here's hoping
next year is as good.

they divided four hits evenly.
Smith also continued the bril­liant
fielding that has made him
the defensive standout of the
season, as he completed some
brilliant plays at the keystone
sack.
Doheny, after winning four
straight, suffered his first defeat
of the season at the hands of
the New Britain Teachers nine
by a score of 5-4. The STAGS
were handicapped by the loss
of three regulars, all seniors,
who were unable to play due to
a final exam. A big four-run
second inning enabled the
Teachers to become the only
team to defeat ,the STAGS
twice this season.
A two-out single in the final
inning by catcher Frank Fero­letto,
playing his last game for
Fairfield, provided the STAGS
with a 3-2 win over St. Peter's
College of Jersey City in a game
that was cut to eight innings due
to rain.
Fahey went the distance on
the mound for the STAGS strik­ing
out 10, walking three and al­lowing
only four hits. The win
was his third in eight days.
Feroletto's single scored Bobby
Markovic from third after he
had reached first on an error and
gone to third on Dick Landy's
long single to right. Feroletto
was easily the hitting star of
the game as he had previously
tripled with a runner on in the
STAG's two-run second inning.

and the successful Sophomore

Besides his presidential duties,
Tim has managed to expand and
increase the prestige of the Hart­ford

his home town when he repre­sented
Fairfield University at
the "mock" Legislature in Hart­ford.
His political ability has
made him a very important

Since its inception, in 1947,
the Fairfield University Glee
Club has continually worked
towards artistic development for
the credit of the University. The
seventy-one students, under the
direction of Mr. Simon Harak of
Derby, have appeared and been
well received in many places.
Great credtit goes to Mr. Harak
who, by his ability and encour­agement,
has led the Glee Club
along.
The repetoire is a varied one.
It ranges from such classical se­lections
as the lofty "Jesu, Joy
Of Man's Desiring" by Bach and
"Veni Jesu" by Cherubini to
Carmichael's "Star Dust" and
medlies from "Oklahoma" and
"South Pacific." The Negro
Spiritual, an important part of
American Musical Literature, is
well reuresented in "Da Animals
Are C~min," "Talk About Jer­usalem
Mornin," and "D r y
Bones." The last of these with
its syncopated rhythm and novel
sound affects never fails to
bring audiences to rounds of
applause. Opening and closing

The season of 1950-1951 was
a very active one for the Glee
Club. On December 8, the sea­son
opened with a joint concert
in Berchmans Hall with St. Jo­seph's
College. As guests of the
Connecticut Symphony, we sang
at the Klein Memorial on De­cember
16: Two concerts follow­ed:
one in New Caanan, spon­sored
by the Catholic Daughters,
and the other in Norwalk, spon­sored
by the Triangle Club. Feb­ruary
2 marked a' gala event in
the life of the Glee Club. It was
then that we gave oUr first com­plete
concert in Bridgeport. Un­der
the auspices of the Bellar­mine
Guild and the Fathers'
Club, the Klein Memorial was
filled to capacity. This concert
proved to be a great musical and
social success.
Concerts followed in Ansonia,
sponsored by the Valley Club; in
VVaterbury, by the VVaterbury
Club; in New Haven, as guests
of the New Haven Club; and in
Middletown, sponsored by the
Catholic Daughters. On April 18,
a concert and dance were held
at St. Vincent's Hospital.
A highlight of the season came
April 29 when the Glee Club
sang at the VValdof Astoria in
New York. As guests of the
College of New Rochelle, we
sang with New Rochelle and
Providence Colleges. This con­cert
provided a thrilling climax
as the three Clubs combined
The course consists of a twelve
week training period in which
the nursing care and treatment
of the mentally ill are carefully'
considered. Much practical ex­perience
is gained at Seton Insti­tute,

Prom, held Friday
evening, May 11th, at Laddin's
Terrace, Stamford and the Jun­ior

at Actors Colony Inn, Derby,
were both huge social successes.
Congratulations are due to the
Fairfield committee members
who worked so hard on them.
Many thanks are expressed by
student nurses attending either
of these affairs to the Training
School Office, which made it
possible for them to do so.
Spring and the month of May
bring another event with which
we are all familiar, the crown­ing
of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Our statue of the Blessed Virgin
is located on the Hunting Street
side of .the hospital. As has been
the tradition, the President of
the Children of Mary, this year
Patricia Leonard, will place the
crown while other members form
a circle about the statue. The
crowning will be held in the
latter part of this month and all
are invited.
