 Archbishop, Murray paid a beau- tlful tribute to Holy Cross for its training of men in thanking all who had gathered at the testimo- nial. He acknowledged humbly the many nice things that had been said about him. He stressed the need of type of a man to-day who does and gives without soie thought of self. but merely for the sake of doing and giving.
 Others who joined in eulogizing
 His Grace, were John J.. M. O'Shea president of the Greater New York Alumni, James A. Crotty, president of the General Alumni Association Dr George Herman Derry of De- troit, Michigan, president of Mary grove College, Right Reverend Andrew G. Brennan, of Richmond Virginia. Rev Joseph c. Fleming representing His Eminence, Car dinal Hayes. and the Rev John M Fox, s. J., president of Holy Cross College.
 Father Fleming, who is native of this city, declared himself par ticularly proud to carry the felfci- tations and best wishes of Car diral Hayes to Archbishop Murray. Few of those present, save per- haps Waterburians, realized that tine Murray and Fleming families were once next door neighbors on South street.
 Father Fox made an impassioned plea to Archbishop Murray to lead the country back to normalcy, claiming that 1t required the ef- forts of just such leaders of men as Archbishop Murray had proved t1 be for such an undertaking. He deplored the spirit of the times which has thrust the fear i.of God and reverence into the back ground. r.
 Attorney Crotty in extolling Archbishop Murray recalled the compliment that Connecticut's late wa governor, Marcus H. Hol- comb, paid him for his untiring work in the diocese of Hartford during the days of the World war.
 Doctor Derry recalled amusing incidents. of the days when he and Archbishop Murray matriculated at Holy Cross College. The same traits that brought him to his present high position were evident then, he declared.
 Echoing those sentiments in his reply Archbishop Murray declared that no man more than he appre- ciated such annual gatherings as last nights banquet for 1t gave all an opportunity to observe the pro- gress that companions of far-away school days had made.
 The Hon William E. Leahy of Washington presided as toastmas- ter.
 Right Rev Monsignor J. J. Me- Givney was scheduled to be pres- ent at the banquet, but was unable to attend owing to pressure of duties which of recent weeks, just prior to and following his ap- pointment by Pope Plus to the rank of domestic prelate with title of monsignor, have been extremely arduous. Monsignor McGivney is not Holy Cross graduate but is a close friend of Archbishop Mur- ray.
