It would seem but meagre recognition of the services of Archbishop Hughes in the cause of Catholicity, but more especially of Catholic education, were we to dismiss him, in this work, with a mere occasional mention. In admiring the beauty of the handiwork, we must not lose sight of the hand that wrought it or the mind that guided that hand. Therefore a little space devoted to a biographical sketch of the illustrious prelate will not be out of place. John Hughes was born on June 24, the feast of St. John the Baptist, 1797, at Annaloghan, near Augher, County Tyrone, Ireland. His father, Patrick Hughes, was a small farmer, who, although in comfortable circumstances, and able to provide well for his large family, was by no means affluent or wealthy. A staunch Catholic, he faithfully performed his duty to God and man, even under circumstances most trying and unfavorable, and at a time when his native coun. try was groaning under te weight of the penal laws. Young John, who was the third of a family of seven, received his early education at a little school in Augher, and later attended the high school at Auchnacloss. From his earliest childhood he evinced a strong desire for the priesthood. "Many a time," said he in later life, "have I thrown down my rake in the meadow, and kneeling behind a hayrick, begged of Grod and the Blessed Virgin to let me become a priest." He early displayed an aptitude for learning and a fondness for his books that gave promise of a brilliant future. But the plans of the young student and his fond parents were destined to be thwarted, and their dreams of the future rudely dispelled. By a train of untoward circumstances, his career at school was brought to an untimely end, and his hopes...
Download or read book Fordham written by Thomas J. Shelley and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A detailed institutional history that charts both triumphs and setbacks.” —Catholic Herald Based largely on archival sources in the United States and Rome, this book documents the evolution of Fordham from a small diocesan commuter college into a major American Jesuit and Catholic university with an enrollment of more than 15,000 students from sixty-five countries. This is honest history that gives due credit to Fordham for its many academic achievements, but also recognizes that Fordham shared the shortcomings of many Catholic colleges in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Covering struggles over curriculum and the change of ownership in recent decades from the Society of Jesus to a predominantly lay board of trustees, this book addresses the intensifying challenges of offering a first-rate education while maintaining Fordham’s Catholic and Jesuit identity. Exploring more than a century and a half of Fordham’s past, this comprehensive history of a beloved and renowned New York City institution of higher learning also contributes to our debates about the future of education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fordham University & the United States: A History (E-Lit Books, October 2013, $19.99), Debra Caruso Marrone delivers a breezy, informative title for American history lovers and anyone associated with the 172-year-old institution. Founded as St. John's College in 1841 by New York Archbishop John Hughes, the university began as a vehicle to educate young men and deliver Catholics to the upper class. Caruso Marrone, a Fordham graduate and member of the alumni association's Board of Directors, documents the life of the university, intertwining university events and the students and faculty members who made their mark on the nation. She writes about national figures who impacted the institution, once a stomping ground for U.S. presidents, war heroes and leaders in all fields. The book contains the story of Fordham's rebirth, alongside that of the Bronx, under its three most recent presidents. The book, a fundraiser for Fordham students via the Fordham College Alumni Association, will also be of interest to those with ties to the Bronx.

Book Synopsis Fordham by : Father Raymond A. Schroth S.J.
Download or read book Fordham written by Father Raymond A. Schroth S.J. and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fordham University is the quintessential American-Catholic institution—and one now looked upon as among the best Catholic universities in the country. Its story is also the story of New York, especially the Bronx, and Fordham’s commitment to the city during its rise, fall, and rebirth. It’s a story of Jesuits, soldiers, alumni who fought in World Wars, chaplains, teachers, and administrators who made bold moves and big mistakes, of presidents who thought small and those who had vision. And of the first women, students and faculty, who helped bring Fordham into the 20th century. Finally it’s the story of an institution’s attempt to keep its Jesuit and Catholic identity as it strives for leadership in a competitive world. Combining authoritative history and fascinating anecdotes, Schroth offers an engaging account of Fordham’s one hundred thirrty-seven years—here, updated, revised, and expanded to cover the new presidency of Joseph M. McShane, S.J., and the challenges Fordham faces in the new century.

Download or read book Fordham, A History of the Jesuit University of New York written by Thomas J. Shelley and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based largely on archival sources in the United States and Rome, this book documents the evolution of Fordham from a small diocesan college into a major American Jesuit and Catholic university. It places the development of Fordham within the context of the massive expansion of Catholic higher education that took place in the United States in the twentieth century. This was reflected at Fordham in its transformation from a local commuter college to a predominantly residential institution that now attracts students from 48 states and 65 foreign countries to its three undergraduate schools and seven graduate and professional schools with an enrollment of more than 15,000 students. This is honest history that gives due credit to Fordham for its many academic achievements, but it also recognizes that Fordham shared the shortcomings of many Catholic colleges in the United States in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. There was an ongoing struggle between Jesuit faculty who wished to adhere closely to the traditional Jesuit ratio studiorum and those who recognized the need for Fordham to modernize its curriculum to meet the demands of the regional accrediting agencies. In recent decades, like virtually all American Catholic universities and colleges, the ownership of Fordham has been transferred from the Society of Jesus to a predominantly lay board of trustees. At the same time, the sharp decline in the number of Jesuit administrators and faculty has intensified the challenge of offering a first-rate education while maintaining Fordham’s Catholic and Jesuit identity. June 2016 is the 175th anniversary of the founding of Fordham University, and this comprehensive history of a beloved and renowned New York City institution of higher learning will help contribute to celebrating this momentous occasion.

Download or read book As I Remember Fordham written by Fordham University. Office of the Sesquicentennial and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains seventy-five interviews with Fordham administrators, faculty, and staff who share their rememberances of the University. The occasion for the project is Fordham's Sesquientennial celebration as the University completes its one-hundred and fiftieth year and the excerpts range from Fordham's earlier days to current events. Collectively, this book is an informal history of Fordham and its people, both as a community which is vital and growing, and a university whose past is rich in tradition. In a "Message from the President," Rev. Joseph A. O'Hare, S.J. summarizes the importance of the project in this way, "A university, like any great institution, transcends the experience of any single generation. At the same time, the people who make up the university shape the meaning of its tradition and give it heart and voice. Through this Oral History Project, many of the men and women who played important roles in Fordham's history express their own memories of the University. Each adds a special angle of vision on the many-sided life of Fordham. Their words, captured in living testimony and recorded in these excerpts, keep the sense of Fordham's past alive and help us translate that past into a promise for the future." For readers associated with the Fordham Community this volume captures this one-time event in a unique way. To any reader it offers an entertaining, insiders view of history of the Jesuit University of New York.

Download or read book Dagger John written by John Loughery and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed biographer John Loughery tells the story of John Hughes, son of Ireland, friend of William Seward and James Buchanan, founder of St. John’s College (now Fordham University), builder of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, pioneer of parochial-school education, and American diplomat. As archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York in the 1840 and 1850s and the most famous Roman Catholic in America, Hughes defended Catholic institutions in a time of nativist bigotry and church burnings and worked tirelessly to help Irish Catholic immigrants find acceptance in their new homeland. His galvanizing and protecting work and pugnacious style earned him the epithet Dagger John. When the interests of his church and ethnic community were at stake, Hughes acted with purpose and clarity. In Dagger John, Loughery reveals Hughes’s life as it unfolded amid turbulent times for the religious and ethnic minority he represented. Hughes the public figure comes to the fore, illuminated by Loughery’s retelling of his interactions with, and responses to, every major figure of his era, including his critics (Walt Whitman, James Gordon Bennett, and Horace Greeley) and his admirers (Henry Clay, Stephen Douglas, and Abraham Lincoln). Loughery peels back the layers of the public life of this complicated man, showing how he reveled in the controversies he provoked and believed he had lived to see many of his goals achieved until his dreams came crashing down during the Draft Riots of 1863 when violence set Manhattan ablaze. To know "Dagger" John Hughes is to understand the United States during a painful period of growth as the nation headed toward civil war. Dagger John’s successes and failures, his public relationships and private trials, and his legacy in the Irish Catholic community and beyond provide context and layers of detail for the larger history of a modern culture unfolding in his wake.
