Fordham is proud to have her sons and daughter of Erin and other lands, for the most part once removed, take their places once again in the line of Itnaich, for on this day all hearts are Irish and friendly. In this Brent demonstration of Cath- olicity and love of things Irish there lies a grand opportunity for COFRM THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPAKV •us to leave a fine and lasting im- prr^5>ion of Fordham upon the mvnad thousands of onlookers.
