She was great and respected before the Saxon had set footon Britain, before the Frank had passed the Rhine, when Grecian eloquence still flourished at Antioch, when idols were stillworshipped in the temple of Mecca. And she may still exist in undiminished vigour when some traveller from New Zealand shall, in themidst of a vast solitude, take his stand on a broken arch of London Bridge to sketch the ruins of St. Paul’s."Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1840SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2010POPE LEO XIII(1810-1903)“A Loyal Disciple of the Saintly La Salle”: BrotherChrysostom, F.S.C.

Like a greatmountain-range shebestrides the historyof the past twothousand years.Whatever maybe theattitude adoptedtoward her, it isimpossible to escapeher."Joseph John Conlon was born in 1863 in New Haven, Connecticut, where hereceived his early schooling. He then entered Manhattan College, which the De LaSalle Christian Brothers established in 1853. The brothers were founded inseventeenth–century France by St. John Baptist De La Salle to meet theeducational needs of the poor. They made their first American foundation in 1845in Baltimore, and in 1848 they came to New York.After graduating from Manhattan, Joseph taught for a year at La Salle College inPhiladelphia, founded in 1863. He then joined the brothers, taking Chrysostom ashis religious name. (Most orders don’t do this anymore, but a religious name wasintended to show that a radical change had been made.) After completing hisnovitiate (a sort of basic training period for religious), he taught at St. Joseph’sCollege, Buffalo (now St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute).From 1888 until his death in 1917, he was at Manhattan College, where he taughtEnglish, philosophy, oratory and psychology. He wrote several textbooks onScholasticism, the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, which Pope Leo XIII hadmandated in 1879 as part of the standard curriculum for Catholic schools andseminaries. By the time of his death, Brother Chrysostom had taught at Manhattanfor nearly thirty years, and was something of an institution there. He wasremembered asserious and gentle in disposition… a loyal disciple of the saintly La Salle. Both as astudent and a teacher he edified many by his zeal and tireless devotion. His deathremoves from the [college] one of its most valued members.Manhattan College lore has it that Chrysostom Hall, named in his honor, ishaunted by his ghost.Posted by Pat McNamara at 7:56 AMLabels: Brothers, Colleges and Universities, New York Catholic History0 comments:Pat McNamaraA native of Queens,Pat attended Catholicschools fromgrammar throughgraduate school.
