OqeX)edicate e Dome^dau to Jfathcr Jfoltg TO the founders of Georgetown, education represented more than an intellectual assimilation of facts. In their system moral development preceded mental improvement, and culture was synonymous with an adequate and appreciative realization of what man is, and how man, a rational being, should act to attain God, his ultimate end. This concept of education, inaugurated by Ignatius Loyola, has been per­ petuated by an unbroken line of capable, devoted men. It is to one of these. Father Foley, that we now voice our appreciation for what he has given us. As priest, teacher, and Catholic gentleman, he is a worthy exponent of those ideals of truth which inspired Georgetown's founders. As moderator of this yearbook, his judicial counsel and friendly advice have been of invaluable help in our attempt to preserve the memories of our college life. To him the Class of 1939 gratefully dedicates this book. REV. CHARLES J.

Pr^rfechii V.procapia contormi I 1 of 6eorgeto\wn lantoersity i:ht jfounding of "^arjiland==i63i HEN, after patient and enduring effort. Sir George Calvert, Lord Baltimore, obtained the province washed by the Atlantic Ocean and Potomac River, two Jesuit priests accompanied the Catholic pioneers who landed on the shores of Maryland in 1634. From that very day, they began their ministry, blend­ ing the training of youth in secular learning with instruction in the ways of God. One hundred and sixty-four years before the beautiful city of Washington was envisioned; a century and a half before its marble pillars pointed to the sky; seven score and thirteeen years before the Constitution was conceived, these Jesuit Fathers, Andrew White and Ferdinand Poulton, projected a seat of learning at St. Mary's City, in 1634, as the handmaid of religion in Maryland. From that day forth, the lamp of Catholic education in America was entrusted to the steady and capable hands of the Society of Jesus. But among the inhabitants, who had been received into the Maryland colony and who enjoyed its blessings of civil and religious liberty, some there were who rose up against their benefactors; and a bitter war of persecution was suddenly waged against the Maryland Catholics. Yet, though the hours of religious adver­ sity were enshrouded in darkness, the light of learning burned with unflickering brilliance. With military precision, new sons of Loyola rose to replace those who had fallen; and for a hundred and fifty years the first Catholic school survived— sometimes in the seclusion of the forest, sometimes in the more populous areas of the colony—never failing in its one outstanding task of educating the Catholic youth of Maryland. In the year 1640, when the very existence of the Jesuits themselves was threatened, the school founded at St. Mary's City was transferred to Calverton Manor, on the Wicomico River. Here during the course of some twenty-seven years, despite innumerable trials and difficulties, that would have broken hearts less brave, the Jesuits continued unflinchingly their sacred and noble task of edu­ cation. Not alone did the academy endure; but it expanded as well; and in 1667, 15 a more spacious location was chosen for it at Newtown Manor. With this change in site, came a change in name, for the academy was now known as ''A School for Humanities." Had the religious persecution abated, Georgetown, instead of being the lineal descendent of Newtown Manor, would perhaps have been identified with it. But the Jesuits were driven from Southern Maryland in 1746, crossed the Chesa­ peake, fied into the wilderness and immediately set up another school at Bohemia Manor on the eastern shore. Thither came the sons of Maryland's more promi­ nent Catholic families—the Brents, the Neales, the Carrolls, etc.—to strengthen the religious faith that others would uproot from their hearts. From the humble portals of Bohemia Manor they later went forth, fully prepared for the historical part they were to play in the American Revolution. Bohemia Manor was also the last link in the chain forged by religious persecu­ tion—St. Mary's School, Calverton Manor, Newtown Manor, Bohemia Manor— these were the successive and painful stages in the development of Catholic education in America. But, thank God, a brighter day dawned—new faces appeared on the horizon and men's hearts, despite their relig­ ious beliefs, beat once more in harmony. Upon the ashes of religious bigotry, with the humble Jesuit schools of Maryland as its foundation stone, rose the new, more pretentious and more abiding edifice of Georgetown College. Eorgetom OnwerMqi '^]m]mp' )URNING to the historical pages of the year 1789, interwoven , with the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, we find the names of George Town and Carroll—George Town the picturesque, tree-studded village crowning the banks of the Po­ tomac, and the Most Rev. John Carroll, First Archbishop of Baltimore. For the former was the chosen site of the College that was to bear the name of the town; and Carroll, patriot, priest and prelate, was the man who laid its foundations. Unfolding his plans for the school before a chapter of the clergy at Whitemarsh, on November 13,1786, Carroll described the site as "one of the most lovely situations which the imagination can frame." Happily, Carroll's suggestions were approved; and plans drawn up for the erection of an institution for the education of youth and the perpetuation of the clerical body in America. The General Chapter appointed a Committee to act as Directors of the school; and listed on it were the Rev. Messrs. John Carroll, James Pellentz, Robert Molyneux, John Ashton and Leon Neale. On March i, 1788, Dr. Carroll wrote: "We shall begin the building of our Academy this sum­ mer. On this Academy are built all my hopes of permanency and success of our holy religion in the United States." Construction of the building, known when completed as the South Building, progressed rapidly; and in 1789, a circular was widely distributed announcing the opening of the Academy at George Town.

  • FINAL REPORT of Special Committee on Marvin Center Name
    Report of the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name March 30, 2021 I. INTRODUCTION Renaming Framework The George Washington University Board of Trustees approved, in June of 2020, a “Renaming Framework,” designed to govern and direct the process of evaluating proposals for the renaming of buildings and memorials on campus.1 The Renaming Framework was drafted by a Board of Trustees- appointed Naming Task Force, chaired by Trustee Mark Chichester, B.B.A. ’90, J.D. ’93. The Task Force arrived at its Renaming Framework after extensive engagement with the GW community.2 Under the Renaming Framework, the university President is to acknowledge and review requests or petitions related to the renaming of buildings or spaces on campus. If the President finds a request for renaming “to be reasonably compelling when the guiding principles are applied to the particular facts,” the President is to: (1) “consult with the appropriate constituencies, such as the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, leadership of the Student Association, and the Executive Committee of the GW Alumni Association, on the merits of the request for consideration”; and (2) “appoint a special committee to research and evaluate the merits of the request for reconsideration.”3 Appointment of the Special Committee President LeBlanc established the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name in July of 2020, and appointed Roger A. Fairfax, Jr., Patricia Roberts Harris Research Professor at the Law School as Chair. The Special Committee consists of ten members, representing students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the university, and two advisers, both of whom greatly assisted the Special Committee in its work.4 The Special Committee’s Charge Under the Renaming Framework, the charge of the Special Committee is quite narrow.

    From: Cox, Samuel J SES USN NHHC WASHINGTON DC (USA) <[email protected]> Subject: Passing of Rear Admiral F. Neale Smith, USNR (Ret.) It is with deep regret I inform you of the passing of Rear Admiral Francis Neale Smith, U.S. Naval Reserve (Retired) on 15 August 2020 at age 89. Neale joined the U.S. Naval Reserve in 1952, serving as a Surface Warfare Officer on active duty and the Reserves until his retirement in 1989 as the Chief of Naval Reserve (OP-095) and Commander, Naval Reserve Force. Neale graduated from Loyola College (now Loyola University,) in Baltimore in 1952 with a degree in History. He was commissioned an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve on 1 September 1952. He was called up for active duty during the Korean War and reported on 22 December 1952. He then reported to the destroyer-minesweeper USS GHERARDI (DMS-30) in January 1953 as Chief Engineer, operating out of Charleston, SC for Atlantic Fleet exercises including Operation Springboard in the Caribbean and LANTMINEX. GHERARDI reverted to her original designation as DD-637 before being decommissioned on 17 December 1955, and Lieutenant (junior grade) Smith was released from active duty the same date. While pursuing a civilian career with Esso (later EXXon) he attended the University of Maryland Law School in Baltimore. Remaining in the Inactive Reserve from March 1956, he first served in Surface Division 9-19 in Danville, IL, and then Surface Division 5-1 in Baltimore, MD, where he was promoted to lieutenant in September 1956.
