TIME LAPSE

Welcome to Reunion Weekend 1911. A handwritten note on the back of this photograph describes it as the “Alumni Room in Chaminade Hall where the ‘Old Boys’ gathered” to help celebrate commencement day in 1911. These “old boys” would have attended UD’s predecessor, a school for boys that over the years had several names, including St. Mary’s Institute. And like alumni today, they watched new builings go up, sent class notes (to The Exponent, see Page 40) and offered their support, building the institution so it could continue to lead and serve the Marianist mission for generations they would never meet.
